Skiing in Corvara, (Alta Badia) Italy

Saturday, February 21

Another Saturday we decided to make a day trip to go skiing. This time we decided to go to Corvara, Alta Badia in Italy. Which is only about 2.5 hours away.

We started the day off at a restaurant called Boobe's to get a little breakfast before we hit the road. Our friend's had done this the last time they left so we decided we would try it too with them. Preston and I split a breakfast of toast, eggs, hash browns, sausage and bacon. Now time to hit the road!

When we got there, there were  already a pretty good amount of people there, so we were interested to see how crowded the slopes actually were. The only bad thing about this place was that the lift tickets were a little more expensive than the other places we had been too.

We all road the gondola up to the top of the mountain. I was so excited to be skiing again!

After skiing down one section of the mountain we went back up a chair lift and all got a drink to start off our morning. I got a spritz.

Now time to really ski!

The views as usual were beautiful (at least in the morning before it started to get cloudy).

For lunch we stopped at one of the restaurants on top of the mountain. Preston got spaghetti, which was probably the biggest portion of spaghetti I've seen given to someone in Italy. While I got lasagna. (Forgot to take a picture of them)

By the time we got back to skiing it started to snow a lot, plus getting a little more cloudy and foggy. This made it a little difficult at some points to see the snow, it all just blended in.

At the end of the day we all sat a one of the local bars to get a drink before we headed home. My friend had me try two different types of shots, one was a pear shot and one was the eggnog one, Vov. Both were very interesting. Like I had said in a different post, some places in Italy make Vov a little differently because this one actually didn't taste as bad as the first one I had tried on New Year's Eve.

After relaxing for a little it was time to head home after another fun time skiing. Little did we know we would get stuck in a snow storm...
