#14 Snowboard Cast for Monday March 20th 2006

Snowboarders Radio Show

Overcast, horrible weather but fantastic piste bashing, including first trip to Sestriere via col Basset
Saturday 18th March
Almost considered using the hard stuff
opted for the newly serviced Winterstick
Low cloud but sunshine above to start the day
Fraiteve is bathed in sunshine
Canale Colo and Rio Nero are the places to be
still some good powder even after last sundays high winds
Higher level clouds roll in from France and it starts snowing
fine dense snow in the afternoon
very poor visibility everywhere
call it a day at 4:30ish
Sunday 19th March - Italian Fathers Day
3 inches of overnight snow
piste 72 has an unpisted strip
Fraiteve is above the cloud
and Canale Colo is irresistible
Rio Nero lift breaks down just after I drop into Canale Colo
col Basset chair twice
then Borgata - Sestriere Colle and back up in the Gondola
milky way piste map
Rio Nero is fixed so we can do it again
Piste 21 from the top to get to lunch - fantastic piste bashing
visibility even below the clouds is OK - much betetr than Saturday
after lunch straight back up to Rio Nero
off-piste right and left
21 twice and a single Baby Sansicario to finish at 5
