March 30 - April 1: I thought it was April Fool's when after the longest snow drought this side of the Sahara desert, the heavens opened up and the snow, it was a'fallin'. March 31 saw about 1 meter of neve fresca (fresh snow) and I was numero 25 on the chair lift and hit untracked powder on my first 5 runs. Now, this may not sound exciting for the non-skiers out there but to anyone that knows the joys of a beautiful powder day... this was heaven! I was thigh high and lovin' it! I skied to exhaustion on Saturday, ate like a king for dinner and rewarded myself on Sunday with a spa day and hour massage. Italy sucks!
