Is she?

Anyone else planning a trip to the same place by any chance?

I have had three ski weeks in the Dolomites over 5 years. A week in Val Gardena, a week in Alta Pusteria and a week in Corvara. We had tons of snow very time and never had any weather problems either. Maybe I am lucky but from what I hear their snow making makes up for any lack of the natural stuff.
I live in Switzerland and have heard horror stories of rubbish snow at PDS, Gran Massif and even Chamonix. Lots of micro climates in the Alps and sometimes one area cops a dump and a place not that far away misses out.
I would return to ski the Dolomites all the time if it was a bit closer. Great value, great food, relatively uncrowded. Bit of a hike from Geneva though.
Your snow anxiety is perfectly normal and I too suffer the same affliction. I would be amazed if you had a problem in February.

Hello all. Can anyone says me about snow depth in the end of december for Folgaria? Is it possible to find snow and ski there on New Year's holidays( 29.12 - 5.01)?
PS sorry for my bad english

It's an alpine ski resort, there will be snow to ski on.
If you google average snow depths for folgarida you will probably get some stats but if you can't ski there at new year something's wrong with the planet.

Just make sure you book an average week, or the stats won't mean a lot.

I think he's talking about Folgaria, not Folgarida, they're different resorts!

Ah Folgaria - first place I ever skiied

School trip when I was about 10 years old - the location may have had something to do with the fact that the hotel was owned by one of the teachers's family.....

As that's approx 30 years ago I'm not going to sommment on facilities or the like but should def have snow!
