Do we have any Italian shredders on NS? Where do you ski in Italy?

I go there once a year. I did the Sella Ronda twice in one day. Did you try it? It's beautiful right? I always stay in Canazei

Smaller resorts but hella cheap like madesimo,sauze d'ouix,santa caterina
Bormio 3000 is pretty popular but the park is toxic

Yup, I usually ski in Courmayeur and everything around. But I’m actually going to La Villa this weekend, any suggestion for where to find some good lines ?

You can not be black and Italian my guy, that's like wanting to be red and black ranger at the same time

Also Livingo is an awsome resort, I've been there few years ago check it out if you can

Most of the parks I encountered in Italy are pretty shitty honestly (slopes are 10/10 though)

Yeah i agree,generally (and also just my opinion) europe has higher altitude resorts with less park skiing compared to US resorts with lower altitude but bigger,better parks

Anyone been to Limone Piedmont? I've got a hook up there on a place to stay. Any other resorts close by that are worth checking out?

I haven't gotten around to checking out which pass to get. I'm still in Colorado, but thinking about spending the last month of the season over in Italy since i can use a friend's apt. in Limone.

Definitely visit Italy! One of my favorite countries. I'm not sure about spending the entire month in Limone though, if I were you I would go to the Val di Fassa area. Really beautiful and you can ski down all the way from 3300m over there

Just buy the Dolomiti Superpass when you're there and you're able to ski everything and make huge days

Switzerland and Austria have some good parks though. But generally yeah, I assume it's because skiing would be less fun without a lot of elevation, that's why parks are almost in every resort in America. Might be wrong though
