Not sailing - skiing

by iandsmith - last update: Sep 9, 2004

Snow heaven

Intermediate delight
Let's be brutally honest here. Lago Molveno in winter is not a good place for boating activities.........especially if you fall in the water! No, I didn't do either.
I did however, spend a wonderful day at Monte Paganella skiing most of the mountain, having two spectacular prangs but mostly, a good time.
Lago di Malveno, the town, is surprisingly quiet in winter. I was fortunate to get a room. Europeans are spoilt rotten when it comes to skiing and staying anywhere other than actually in the snowfield doesn't make sense. In Australia, it's often not even an option!

 When I need a "chuckle", I know I can depend on you. I wish I knew what "wattle blooming in a pot" means. I certainly appreciate the beauty of the mountains, but would prefer them in warmer months , being a non-skiing Yankee...keep the sarcasm down, Ian!

 Ian, a very enjoyable page on your Italian ski adventure!! It definitely is a good idea to just stop and enjoy the views every once in a while! I know what you mean re the muffled church chimes - had a problem with those in Portugal!

 Bloomin wattle bloomin', what'll you do for a laugh.........at least when you fall off skis, snow is a soft landing..........not so off bikes. Great page, thank you.
