First snow of the season

Yesterday's rain during the night turned into snow, and this is the result: 10cm of beautiful fresh white coat! Let's hope it is a good start to the 2012/13 winter season!

Men European Cup, slalom, Pozza di Fassa.

Stefano Gross, local skiing hero, misses the podium position by only 0.07 of a second during yesterday's night slalom race on the Aloch.

Skiing!

First day on the slopes: a bit of a strange scenery but lovely snow! :-))

Festival of St. Nicolo'

One of the major events in town is back: St Nicolo', Patron Saint of Pozza, personally visited us once more in the village with some nasty "devils" (called Krampus) following him. He brought gifts of fruit and chocolate to all the children of Pozza, who had gathered in town to celebrate him after having lunch and Mass together. 
The Krampus were really scary and…very smelly too. Also many adults are frightened of them, as they play nasty tricks on anyone they come across!!

7th Dec - skiing season kicks off

Natural snow or not, the skiing season will start Wednesday the 7th December! Time to check that all the gear is in order.
:-)

No snow forecast for the coming week.

Thankfully the cold temperature allows artificial one to be made!!
Fingers crossed for the proper one.
