hi all

me and my mates are heading to italy this weekend for a weeks skiboarding (well some ski as well). we are travelling to Turin airport.

We were due to go to sauze doux or sestriere but looking at the snow situation we are now reviewing this.
A lot of the alps has had no snow scince boxing day

So just asking the europeans really anywhere you could recommend or have been to very recently thats within transfer/train from Turin?

The flights cost us 100 GBP each, at worst case we are gonna forget these and get other flights to st.anton as this seems OK for snow

seems you americans are getting all our snow this year
enjoy it!!

There is plenty of snow on the other side, MDC and close resorts for example have absolutely no snowing problem. Of course, it could be more but all lifts and trails are open. It is expected to snow in the following days.

bobson,

you made a duplicate post (well kind of) so i copied your text from the second post into this one. i think that's what you wanted.

marco replied to you and i think he's saying you should go to madonna di campiglio near trento.

Madonna Di Campiglio is just one of the many alternatives, choose one of the dozens of resorts in the North-Eastern Alps. I'm quite sure there will be enough snow for you ;)
