I did it 10 years ago or more, for one day. At the beginning I wal always down, but when I understtod that I had simply to reverse (left-right) the information that my brain was sending to my body... it was really cool! Anyway, I want back to goofy because snowboarding is not a simmetric sport and I prefer to have the strongest leg as the front leg :) Ciao, Gio P.S. I'm one of the few dextrals (I guess) riding goofy.

I'm going to attend this: http://windzup.com/news_sss.html It's my first time snowkiting, and I'm really excited! My only problem is that I'm not a freestyler, but a carver, so... I don't really know what I will get. Maybe I will try to carve using the kite! Ciao, Gio

My first wonderful board!!!! Ciao, Gio

Thank you, guys! Count me at 99% in. Maybe we can make a list of people coming, adding notes... like who is without a car... (like me :o , from NYC) Ciao, Gio

Someone having fun!!! :eplus2: Ciao, Gio

It is 2006! Why not a new 2008? Ciao, Gio

Here I am! Working as an architect in NYC. I signed up at New York Snowboard Meetup, but in 700 members no one is a carver!!!! :AR15firin:angryfire Thinking to partecipate both SES in Feb and ECES in March. Ciao, Gio

Me too! Even when I have softboots I couldn't avoid to try to carve. Ciao, Gio

Is this the wonderful Ovindoli? ;) I hope you will get tons of s**w this year! :D Ciao, Gio

Queequeg, you totally got the point! Ciao, Gio

I remember him in an italian forum. And I think he was of Rome... Let me check. Ciao, Gio (EDIT) Yes, he's writing in the forum of Extremecarving.com/italian version and he use to carve near Rome. His last post is just two weeks old.

At this link: http://www.alpinforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=20236 you can see a "reportage" of the slopes of #3+4+5+6 areas; plus the dolomites around The last pictures of the series are crazy, but more for a skyer :D Ciao, Gio

I work in Manhattan in an architecture firm. I don't think so. I'm sorry. There is no train station in Cervinia. :( The train I was talking about is the one going from Rome stright to Brunico (Bruneck)/Plan de Corones. The fact is that I can send you to a place where you can ski on more then 300 miles of connected slopes!!! But you have only 2 days (or 3 or 4): you don't have enough time to ride at least once every slope! :rolleyes: Anyway this place is connected to Plan de Corones with a free bus in less than 20 minutes so you can go from Brunico/Plan de Corones adding this 300 miles of slope to the 65 miles of B/PDC. Look at this document: http://www.nxtbook.fr/newpress/dolomitisuperski/ita/0708/index.php (sorry, I didn't find the english version) the area I suggest is the #2. the 300 miles monster is #3+4+5+6 Actually is still not available the schedule for the train for december here: http://www.ferroviedellostato.it This is the place where I suggest you; look at the skimap: http://www.dolomitisuperski.com/2160.athx?ccode=it-IT&tab=skimap Ciao, Gio

So, I'm a roman arrived in NYC and you are a newyorker going to Rome... I think we can share some information, no? Ciao, Gio

I'm touched! :) Hey, but if you are going so late in December, you don't have to go to Cervinia anymore!!! You can go anywhere, because snow will be also everywhere! And if you don't want to travel to much you can even go near Rome. The only problem is that in that period will be really crowded everywhere! :( Anyway I would suggest you this place: (later) You can go there by train leaving Rome at night and waking up almost directly on the slopes (let's say 5 miles far, ok? ;) )! Same thing to come back to Rome. In this way you travel during the night and you don't loose any good time to travel. Ciao, Gio P.S. Ah, I was born and grown in Rome!
