DolomiteSport has dropped off the radar a bit this last week due to a super busy schedule. A friend from the US, Brandyn Roark Gray, is here enjoying the Dolomites and Zillertal Region and we are of course shooting backcountry skiing each day. The usual list of comments are coming from her about this area, the primary of which is, “Wow, this place is amazing, why don’t more Americans know about it?” …….I am doing my best to share.
I had the great pleasure of discovering that my close friend and Mountain Guide, Alberto De Giuli, was booked for five days of work with two North Americans who discovered the opportunity of a Dolomite trip after finding this website and getting inspired to have a look at the Dolomites. Alberto was with them at a nearby hut so Brandyn and I set off to meet them for a ski and dinner at the Fanes Hut. For me, huge rewards come from showing the Dolomites and Zillertal Mountains to people – and especially to see them marvel as I have at what I feel is the most beautiful and culturally perfect place I have seen on this earth.
