Roccaraso is billed as "The Biggest European Ski Area South of the Alps"! It is located about 200km east of Rome and about three hours north of Trani. We gathered a group of willing adventurers and set it as our destination for a ski/snowboard weekend. Here is the intrepid group looking forward with enthusiasm from the breakfast table the first morning...
l-r: Eileen, Jim, Brian, Lisa, Olivia, Amory, Rick
Lisa and Olivia are just finishing a snowboard run but I wanted to capture the chaos on the slopes. There were a lot of other adventurers looking for a last run of the season.
At the end of the first day Eileen reclined in one of the chairs available at the bottom of the lift. It began to snow as we were sitting there waiting for the others.
This is the Amazing Jim! He is really an excellent skier but he hung out with us anyway. He skied down the slope backwards once to film Amory's first decent on the snowboard.
Eileen and Jim at the top of one of the runs. Beautiful view, beautiful skiing.
Jim left us to go down a black run and we took the intermediate one. At the end we were so exhausted that we just had to take a break.
What a great family outing!
