  1. The answer is 1 and 4, but truly, the terrain around here is huge and plentiful for powder addicts.

    I blog every time I’m going to run somewhere, expecting to make anyone interested to run in same place. But unfortunatly nobody is… :)
    I’m joking, but actually in France, Facebook in less integrated in minds than in US.
    (I have only 14 fans in 1 month ! : http://www.facebook.com/pages/runtheplanet/209918733756
    -me included LOL)

    So… no danger for me to see armies of runner in my running spots…

    1. Thanks for the comment. I think this site started the same way though, it was my enthusiasm for being somewhere I love being put into word to share the experience. Over time it actually began to influence a lot of people and tourists came to the Dolomites because of what we shared. They had an amazing time as well. We have even just helped some people plan a honeymoon in the Dolomites after they decided on the area from our site.
      Ultimately, we want to share more than the locations, we want to inspire people to do things in the mountains. There are lots of people like yourself and us doing the same thing. Luckily, in Europe it is alreay so popular and influences the culture, but in the US… I think there is some additional work to do to make the culture more active and aware of the mountains. Some think this is a bad idea, to bring people to the mountains, I disagree.
      Thanks again.

    I think something depends in which are you live. As for here, in the Dolomites, as soon it’s snowing, we go out to carve some save paths for all our tourists and we let that know to the towns tourist offices what is ready or not:

    Why we do that, is written here:
    http://holimites.posterous.com/path-carving-for-ski-mountaineering-and-snows

    But then, automatically the most people will skin or walk up on this paths, and the special spots, known by us locals, are save for some other days or weeks ;-)
