The resort generally opens at the beginning of December. The best slopes for EC have snowguns. So don't worry about snow.
And is there space to carve or are slopes filled with skiers?
It's known that italian resort are more crowded for Christmas and New Year, but what do you call "first week of January' ?
If it's the week from 3 to 10 Jan, it will be empty, like usual !
its maybe the best carving resort in italia, and one of top 5 in europe anyway..
- very steep slopes
- perfect grooming
- very long slopes
- lots of snow
- nice people
- nice food
- not too expensive compare to switzerland or some parts of France
- incredible powder when there is powder ( which can be in huge quantities)
its really a place where our italian crew should organize a big meeting each year ( its not too late hurry guys !!)
I've been wondering also why they dont organize nice pre-Zinal session at early January, there is screaming need for that
Anyway they should be as active on that as they are here writing stuff, i mean Italian section here has more messages than any other section
Pre-Zinal session, mid January 2009 : 2:50 to 4:00 slope #3 - 4:00 to 4:28 slope #25 - 5:16 to end on slope 33, except 6:50 to 7:22 on slope 17.
Post-Zinal session, mid March 2009 : 0:00 to 2:00 on slope #3 - 2:00 to end on slope #35
Pre-Zinal session, mid January 2009 : 2:50 to 4:00 slope #3
Chi è il tipo con i pantaloni rossi/arancioni e giacca scura al minuto 5.53 ?
Per l'EC mi piace molto il suo stile........scende molto veloce con curve ampissime senza perdere molta velocita'........rispetto ad altri che ad ogni curva quasi si fermano........
Bravo ....e bello da vedere
Alla spasmodica ricerca di una "POTON OSSIGENO"..... per ora solo Burton FP 173 - Virus BD 175 - Burton Speed 178 -
vado sempre in skidding sul ripido e scendo per primo per non essere ripreso...

It's Giacomo. A very good rider. memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=1558
You can also see him @3:47
See how the board is chattering. He wasn't with his Swoard this day. He used a Pureboarding #2, and it's clearly visible how the nose can't follow a rounded turn ...
mi piacciono molto i rider che scendono a velocita'costante, rispetto a chi punta il nose in salita per rallentare ......quasi fermandosi ogni volta perdendo cosi in fluidita'......e dinamicita' di azione ....andando come...a singhiozzo.....

di ritorno dalle vacanze questa ghiotta notizia di una nuova pista con questa pendenza a Lathuile e' il cacio sui maccaroni e non vedo l'ora di provarla! gia' me li vedo i due fratelloni "cornuti", custodi del Sacro Sika, a provare il filo delle lamine delle loro bambine guardando sospirando il calendario... Lathu uber alles!!
il migliore oggi sulle piste? quello che si e' divertito di piu'...
I like lux but not willing to pay silly prices of it
with thos eprices i can have real lux in Niseko, with real powder challenge.
But thanks to link for other hotels.
I'm still wondering of dates due some hotels dont list prices till 9.1, so does that mean that untill 9.1 there is crowded sklopes or just crowded hotels?
