Report from February 19, 2025

The plan was to ski a line up high in powder snow yesterday.

I’d convinced myself that I’d found a spot in the alpine right off the lift with good snow that was a long, wide wide-open run.

When I got there I found the snow wasn’t great and it was actually a pretty short run.

We skied it and it was really fun but the snow was a bit wind-pressed.

We continued downhill and Martin showed us a spot where he thought there could be powder in the trees.

He was right!

We skied a great tree run in the bizarre larch trees (pine trees that lose their needles in the winter) and powder snow.

I was stoked.

Finding powder a week after the storm made me quite happy.

We explored the Dolonne Couloir zone and I marveled at the incredible terrain just outside the ski resort boundary.

We’ve got a couple more sunny days before clouds and snow are forecast to show up.

I wanna go back to those trees…

We went to dinner at La Luge and they love Maradonna in there.

They even have a tribute T-shirt to the 1986 “Mano de Dios” goal against England in the quarterfinals of the world cup.

Best burger I’ve had anywhere…

Fingers crossed for a big storm.

Thanks, Italy!
