:: Tour Route(s) or Location Skied/Ridden
Recorded here to inspire you to get out there!
2 routes on successive days - North face of the Marmolada (3300m) and the NE face of the Presanella (3558m) Dolomites/ Trentino area of NE Italy
:: Weather Conditions
Typically alpine - sunny and still although temperatures more like May in the Alps than early Feb
:: Snow Conditions and Distrubtion
The poorest snow falls in many years with only 2 significant dumps since early December (more snow in my garden in Perth the day after returning than on many of the lower Dolomite peaks this year!
Both routes chosen to take advantage of relatively high level glacier ascents
