Alta Badia

Most outdoor enthusiasts know the Dolomites as a climbing El Dorado. For a long time, only a few were aware that the same applies to the freeride potential. Nowadays, the majority of freeriders know the powder hotspots of the Dolomites. However, due to the vastness of the areas, untouched slopes can still be found several days after the last snowfall. When it became apparent that a southerly storm would dump an acceptable amount of fresh snow in the Dolomites, the decision was quickly made - we set off for northern Italy – in search of deep snow and steep gullies.

The ski touring season has begun and so we sent three of our ski slaves into one of the most beautiful areas in the Alps, the Dolomites, in conditions that were still a little unpleasant. They traversed the Dolomites in five days and, with the best will in the world, didn't choose the easiest route. Experience a little foretaste before the deep winter finally comes to an end and gives way to spring with better touring conditions.
