In Valbrembana there are :
Foppolo :(first time that a put a snowboard on my foot) is the most famuos location in Valbrembana, last year there wasn't so much snow, there are some good slopes and it is connected to Carona
Carona : has only skilifts, not many people, exposed to south, good off-piste tracks
San Simone : it was my favorite when i was young(14-16), there's a new chairlift, some good tracks
Valtorta and Piani di Bobbio : slopes going to valtorta are good, on the top there are some flat slopes (Piani means Flat)and some short step slopes, there's one slope that goes to Barzio (in Lecco province) that is long.
Piazzatorre : cheap station, 2 different company with two different slpes plan
in Piazzatorre there was the only one halfpipe in Bergamo province (now it's nevere shaped)
moving to Val Seriana we can find:
Spiazzi di Gromo :(first bad crash on a snowboard) some good slopes, long and step.
Lizzola : some good slopes and off-piste
Colere : really Colere is in Val di Scalve but you can get there easily from val Seriana, Colere is good for off-piste, and as also some long slopes.
last year there was italian championship of GS , SL and boardercross.
Monte Pora : Exoposed to south, not very high.
there are also some smaller location
generally locations has old skilifts and chairlifts, are less expensive than other locations in italy (during the week a skipass cost about 15€, and in the weekend it grow to 20€)
you will not find great impiants but when the snow is good you will sure have fun.
