As a semi-retired IT professional I now have plenty of time for skiing in my favourite areas close to my home in Verona Italy. The magical Dolomiti region is within 2.5 hours drive, and other world-class skiing areas such as the 3 valleys, Espace Killy and Ski Amadè are all reachable within an easy drive. Having experienced the addictive adrenalin buzz of competitive motor racing, my love for speed and exhilaration is kept alive by the thrill of skiing, both on and off-piste.

When not on the ski slopes, I keep fit with daily 10,000 steps+ mountain walks with my best friend Bruno the Briard (a shaggy French herding breed) plus regular swimming and gym sessions. I'm an avid reader and music fan and also produce my own music and EDM mixes in my computer-equipped studio. Basically, 24 hours per day is nowhere near enough to fulfil my various passions and love of life's opportunities!

Skiing is my passion and I have been doing it for more than three decades. In the summer you will find me mountain biking my local single-track routes. I spent a whole season in Fernie, Canada, and it was amazing. My top picks for ski resorts are Fernie and Whistler, but I love anywhere in the mountains. Whether it's gliding on a blue run, dodging the trees on a black double diamond, or exploring the backcountry, I enjoy every moment of it. Nothing beats the feeling of being in the mountains.

  • It is actually a collection of six villages, each are different but all are home to exceptional food.

    All of the villages that make up Alta Badia (except La Val) are directly linked to the Sella Ronda circuit, one of the Alps’ best intermediate playgrounds. Corvara and Colfosco are best placed to access the vast network of slopes, but with this comes bigger crowds – base yourself down in Badia for quiet local slopes and a relaxed holiday. Challenges for advanced and expert skiers and boarders are few and far between in this region, but the tough run back down to the valley – host each winter to one of the toughest Giant Slalom races on the World Cup calendar – more than deserves its black status.

    Pros and cons

    • Access to some of the world’s best intermediate terrain around the Sella Ronda Massif
    • Reliable snow thanks to extensive snowmaking
    • Incredible food both on the slopes and also in the resort towns
    • Badia is just off the main circuit so getting there requires a few lift rides
    • Few challenges for advanced skiers and riders
    • Lots of the runs are short, with limited vertical

    11th- 18th Jan 2025 : Derek Lightfoot & Steve Palmer

    It is a condition of booking that you have valid and adequate snowsports insurance. It is your responsibility to ensure your policy provides cover for all the activities that you participate in during your holiday.

    We offer a Ski Club Insurance policy which provides the cover we require for all bookings. This policy can be found here: Ski Club Travel Insurance – Ski Club Of Great Britain

    If you decide to purchase insurance elsewhere, it is your responsibility to ensure that your policy provides cover as that of the Ski Club Insurance policy. The policy of insurance should provide cover for personal injury, death, medical and repatriation costs in the countries which you intend to visit, together with cover for loss of baggage and valuables, personal liability, delay, cancellation, curtailment, missed departure and legal expenses. The policy should also include cover against losses caused by the effects or consequences of Covid-19.

    Due to the type of holidays that you will be booking with us, we also advise that your policy should include skiing off-piste without a guide. Please note, insurance premiums must be paid at the same time as booking in order for the package holiday or single service cancellation cover to be effective. It is also advised to keep your insurance details with you while you are on your holiday. If you choose to travel without adequate insurance cover, we will not be liable for any losses howsoever arising, in respect of which insurance cover would otherwise have been available.

    • have an ‘expiry date’ at least 3 months after the date you plan to leave the Schengen area

    Check your passport meets these requirements before you travel.

    NB: Starting in 2025 (Date TBC) travel authorisation will be required to travel withing Europe – find out more here ETIAS (europa.eu)
