Arabba is in the Dolomite area of Italy. It is a small quaint ski village and was our destination for a weeks holiday including 6 days of snowboarding / skiing with 12 others including:
Kylie, John, Joe, Keryn, Simon, Penny, Kris, Miriam, Pete, Sophie, Nikki & Paul.
When the plane touched down in Verona we were quite concerned about the ski trip as it was a sunny and balmy 10 - 12C and definitely t-shirt weather; plus the snow reports had been pretty lame prior. Our rep reasured us that the slopes were still good to go however when we arrived in Arabba there were plenty of green bits. It was only thanks to the snow cannons that there was snow at all - looked like it was going to be piste action only.
Our dreams were answered......
The definite highlight of the trip was on day 3 when it started puking down. Between days 3 & 4 we had a total of 40cms so it was 'Power to the POW!'. Rob was in snowboarding heaven with the amount of snow and off piste action!
Apart from the massive amounts of falling snow we also celebrated Keryn's 30th and Rob's 29th birthday's. The majority of us also skiied/ boarded the
Sella Ronda, a 40km circuit and the Marmolada Glacier the highest mountain of the Dolomites. Several of us also engaged in BUM WIZZING! Whooohhooooo!!!!
Overall the week was filled with plenty of fun times, awesome company and was classified as one of the best board/ski holidays ever.
