First ski trip with my daughters, Folgarida, in the Italian Dolomites, with absolutely fantastic weather. Six weekends of lessons beforehand paid off: by the end of the week we were skiing most of the resort, a few black runs included. Almost t-shirt skiing, no whinging, just sun, slopes, strawberries and hot chocolate. A really good family resort with easy access and a fine balance of runs.
