Releases by Year: 2007 | 2006 | 2005 | 2004 | 2003 | 2002 | 2001Kids Hit the Slopes in Italy...Plose in Brixen/BressanoneKidz 'Snow (02/06) - By Mitch Kaplan The bus, packed to the gills, rolls through town en route to the Plose ski area. Passengers cling to skis, poles, snowboards. They chat amiably, though shouting is sometimes required to be heard over the vehicle's rattling. At each stop, more snowsliders climb aboard. I'm amazed - and somehow reassured - by how many of them are kids who are heading to the slopes alone, no parents in tow. Plose is the "home" ski area of Brixen-Bressanone, a small, historical city set in northern Italy's Sudtirol. The ski center's claim to fame is a run called The Plunge, reputed to be the longest black-diamond trail in the Tyrol. top ^

Dolomites in Italian Alps are breathtakingThe Times (02/09/06) - By Martin Griff Turin isn't the only snow show in Italy. The eyes of the world may be focused on the action at this year's Olympic Games host city, but the heart-stopping views are found in the Dolomite Mountains, a part of the Italian Alps, a couple hundred miles to the east. Last month, I joined a group of snowsport journalists on a trip arranged by Houston-based SkiEurope to the mountain region located a 90-minute drive south of Innsbruck. top ^
A skier’s paradiseNew Haven Register (02/06/06) - By Helen Jankoski It's fascinating to think that some 230 million years ago the Dolomites, a part of the Alps in northeastern Italy, were coral reefs beneath the sea. Today, the craggy peaks are a dramatic setting for a skiers' paradise. Three weeks ago, a group of 16 mostly ski writers embarked on a trip we'd booked through SkiEurope, a Texas-based tour company. We flew from JFK to Munich, then traveled three hours by bus to the 4-star Hotel Gasser that would be our home base in the small city of Brixen (in German) or Bressanone (in Italian), just over the Austrian border in Italy ...read full article> top ^
Ski LinesAmsterdam Recorder (02/0206) - By Phil Johnson All of the skiing takes place in a breathtaking setting. The Alps are much younger than the mountains close to home here. Where our peaks tend to be rounded and worn, the Alps a jagged and sheer. Much of the skiing takes place above the tree line which ends about 6,000 feet. The terrain is generally mountain pasture land in the summer. Some of it, Seiser Alm/Alpe di Suise in particular, is wide open and gentle where skiers share the landscape with hikers, sledders, and even horse drawn sleighs. This trip was organized by Ski Europe/ Ski Canada, a Houston TX based ski travel specialist agency which arranged for the travel and lodging in addition to the ski related activities.
