About 30 years ago I saw a picture of the Italian Dolomites in SKI Magazine. I was so impressed, that I can still see every detail in my mind. Always wanted to go there, but Spain is as close as I've come. Maybe someday.
We briefly lived in Agordo and skied in the Dolomites for five weeks this winter. Overall the winter season wasn't very good, but we lucked out and were there for the best snow. The Dolomites had great access, amazing views, and tons of non-glaciated backcountry terrain.
Where were the photos taken?
Photo #1 – Snow storm at Passo Valles, SW of Falcade, Italy
Photo #2 – Glacier skiing in Vallee Blanch, Chamonix, France
Photo sets 3-5 – closeups taken in Appenzeller, Switzerland
Photo #6 – Snow storm at Passo San Pelligrino, NW of Falcade, Italy
Photo #7 – Appenzeller, Switzerland
Photo #8 – Snow storm at Passo Valles, Italy
Photo set 9 – Appenzeller, Switzerland
Photo #10 – Somewhere between Alleghe and Cortina, near Passo Giau. In the opposite direction of the photo was Pelmo, towering across a valley. Italy
