Val Gardena Dolomites Italy- North Penn Ski Club had a group of 25 at Val Gardena from March 1-9, 2024.  The week featured a variety of conditions from warm and slushy to beautiful blue-bird days to fresh show accompanied by white out conditions.  The views were incredible and the guides that Elysha Thompson arranged for us were wonderful.  Amazing to ski from town to town with so many lifts, gondolas, trams, slopes to choose from AND many lovely rifugios (refuges/mountain cabins) to grab a bite or a meal and beverages at.  Hotel Oswald had a typical quaint European vibe and fantastic meals.  A 3 day pre-trip to Venice was very much enjoyed by 19 of the group.  Thanks to Dave Schoneker for setting the trip up and Pete Ryan for running it!
See the Val Gardena Photo Album for pictures from this amazing experience.
