Dolomites Ski Trip

Dan and I took our very first Frankfurt Ski Club trip over Presidents' Day weekend.  We boarded a bus with approximately 50 other skiers and snowboarders (including some friends from work) and headed to the Dolomites, a mountain range in the Alps in north-eastern Italy.  We stayed in the small town of Villandro, Italy, where most of the population speaks German, and the architecture looks like it came straight from Bavaria.  Needless to say we didn't get the authentic pizza and Italian gelato we were hoping for.  That's ok though, because the area was beautiful, Dan had a great time snowboarding at Val Gardena, and we had a lot of fun hanging out with friends at the après-ski bar after the last run of the day.


We are definitely looking forward to our next Frankfurt Ski Club trip at the end of March!
