I thought I would have to forego my yearly visit to the mountains due to the arrival of our second child in February. But we managed to sneak in a last minute trip at the very end of the season. Choosing the beautiful village of Civetta in the Italian Dolomites.
We decided to do something different on the final day of this years snowboard trip and head off-piste! This would be my first experience of proper off-piste snowboarding in the spectacular Dolomites.
After many years of going to the Val di Fassa we decided to try out a different valley (brave of us!). So we picked the Alta Badia region and stayed in a village called La Villa.
One snowboarding trip a year just isn’t enough and when you have mates doing a season somewhere…well it’s rude not to! We took the opportunity to go a short break to Les Gets.
Buying a new board is always a moment of trepidation, can it possible live up to expectations and can it possible replace your old, well loved, dog-eared board? I took the plunge and purchased a Burton Deja Vu Flying V.
