Day 1 was just a few lifts and runs over to Corvara on arrival day.
Day 2 was the first of 3 trips over to Santa Croce. Went down the Red to La Villa, instead of the Alta Badia Gran Risa WC GS course this time. As usual, the scenery was stunning.
Day 3 was the first of a few long hard days. Skied with Ronald et al mostly on Race Slalom skis over to Pozza di Fassa. Every time I'd been the Alba, the link over to Pozza had been closed due to weather, so this was new Dolomites territory for me. GPS stats said about 97km all in (52km skied) - would have been nice to hit the 100km.
See the route on endomondo.
Day 4 was a nice easy relaxed Sella Ronda orange (clockwise) loop.
Day 5 again ended up as a nice easy relaxed day out to Santa Croce again.
Day 6 was another long fast day with the guys on Race Slalom skis again, also venturing in to new territory for me. This time was rush round the Sella Ronda orange, down the Saslong Val Gardena WC DH in to Santa Cristina, then up to Seceda, speed down the long (10km?) run to Ortisei. There we grabbed a quick taxi ride across town to the Seiseralm lifts, then did the Seiseralm / Alpe di Siusi loop before grabbing the bus to Monte Pana. This then links back in to the Sella Ronda. A couple of black runs on Portovescovo before being chased off the mountain by piste patrol finished the day off nicely. Oh and checked off the 100km in a day too :) (just over 60km skied, total GPS distance of 106km, and 29 lifts).

Day 7 skied mostly with Ronald, basically playing in the Edelweiss Valley practising 1 foot skiing on the wrong (ie little toe) edge of the skis, then headed over to Selva to play on the Val Gardena WC DH run again.
Day 8 was the last day, again with Ronald and Degage we headed over to Santa Croce one last time before heading back to Innsbruck in the afternoon.
