We finally got to go skiing again today, after our season tickets were not valid during the holidays and then the weather wasn’t good last week. It was a lovely day, sunny with a little high cloud. With all the snow over the last few days nearly every run is open and we had 63km to play with. Not that we got anywhere near round all of it, but we skied a lot of runs we haven’t been able to so far this year or which were closed last year. The snow quality was excellent, in fact some of the best snow I have ever skied on.
They have been doing some work at Masella and have opened a new ski lift, the Pia Express, which is super fast and a whole new sector (La Pia) which has added about 5km extra piste to the resort. We can park there and save ourselves the drive all the way to Masella proper, so it also saves 10 mins each way of the journey too.
With everyone having finally gone back to work today the place was deserted. It gave the impression that they just opened the whole place for us, which was jolly nice.

That looks great, deserted!
It was incredible. There were several runs where it was only us. Just once there were two people in front of us at the lift, the rest of the time you skied right up to the barrier and then onto the next chair. Never seen it so quiet, but I could get used to it!
