But that didn't stop the walking wounded from having their own fun

The highest Rifugio in the Dolomites. The walk up icy stairs in high winds was tough.

We met some ice climbing buddies of Luca. Nuthin' we can't do ; )

The best way to tackle a long, flat traverse... Get a horse to pull you! This was great fun.

We didn't realise how good the views were back at our base hotel

Just part of the long, long run through the valley back to La Villa.

Four days of follow the leader! Tomorrow we'll get silly when we are left to our own devices.

Ski Safari Day 4

January 10, 2023 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ -8 °C

Today we completed the big loop around the Dolomites and returned to Alta Badia. A bit more detail: "The Lagazuoi circuit leads across canyons for 7.8km along the Armentarola slope". It was also our last day with Luca. The wind was high today, but the sun was bright and the runs were all smooth powder. It was just the three boys for the afternoon and a busy afternoon it was. There was a lot of backcountry stuff and amazing long runs as we made our way back to La Villa.Read more
