Cortina's Longest Ski Slope

[@rexgoulevitch]

Wonderful run and even better skiing. Skied the Dolomites last February (from Val de Fassa). Amazing place. Can’t speak highly enough of the terrain, food and of course the people. Will be back. 🇦🇺 🇮🇹

[@InspiredITALY]

Good on ya Rex! You sound like a Dolomites Ski Safari candidate to me! Check out the website www.InspiredITALY.com.

Just watched this video for the second time. Absolutely beautiful from top to bottom. I love Cortina❤

[@ivokoimecs]

I love this run, it has everything, fantastic views of the glacier, the demanding black run down, and long, long journey tgrough the forest. Beautiful weather and snow conditions. Great! ... 😀👍

[@InspiredITALY]

Thanks Ivo. We ❤️ Cortina!

[@andreachierici1064]

fantastic lady on the ski....best compliments to her; and obviously fantastic video; I'll go to this slope 🎿.....but I'll try to go till Cortina country down to the valley

[@InspiredITALY]

Thank you Andrea! Lou says Grazie very much! Have a great time in Cortina

[@trentmurray1362]

Discovered your channel today and enjoying the content. The educational points whilst skiing down. Thank you

[@alexandernicastro6553]

Fantastic video. I'll be out there this December and this run looks incredible.

[@InspiredITALY]

We're keeping fingers crossed for early snow like last year! Good luck Alexander!

This is a masterclass in how to create a KZbin ski video.

[@InspiredITALY]

Thank you Charles. We really appreciate your comments 🙏

[@alexandrereis246]

Just subscribed it. Great video and very nice ski from Louise. Never skied in Dolomites, but being "For Your Eyes Only" one of my favourite 007 movies now this one is on my bucket list 😁😁😁

[@InspiredITALY]

Lou is an exceptional ski leader! She will be back in the Dolomites very soon. We really hope that you get to fulfill your dreams!

[@mariof.2569]

Beautiful. Great skier!

[@InspiredITALY]

Louise says "Grazie Mario"

[@joseperezrizo2926]

Fantatico video

[@InspiredITALY]

Grazie José!!!!

[@Bulent_MUTLU]

Brava brava brava; she is a great inspiration. And congratulations for the cameraman. I hope that I can ski in Italy someday.

[@InspiredITALY]

You should! Come and join us!

[@Noemip1983]

Great video! Great skier! I enjoyed the comments too!

[@MrCoiote96]

Beautiful video!! Greetings from Pesaro (italy)

[@ivokoimecs]

Very nice run to remember. Very demanding black part, and very long run through the forest, never boring, you can keep up the speed. But we liked to ski all the way to the bottom, the base station of the old cable car lift.

[@InspiredITALY]

Ciao Ivo! Yes, I hope that with the fresh snow in the forecast the whole run will be open soon 🤞🏽

[@ghosar]

The girl has done well!

[@InspiredITALY]

Thanks Ron! I'll pass on your comments. As I write, she's lying next to me snoring!!! We'll be back in the Dolomites next weekend.

[@joedudz]

Lovely skiing.

[@InspiredITALY]

Thank you ☺️

[@wannesengelen6317]

Awesome this! Not the first montage I've watched, always stunning. Yes you are right, in the afternoon the forcella becomes a bit trickier. Very nice skiing though, doing it without stopping ;-)

[@InspiredITALY]

Grazie very much Wannes!

[@michaelnewham6958]

great video !!! super info

[@InspiredITALY]

Glad you liked it!! Grazie very much!

[@grzegorzjaocha6100]

3:27 Live it looks really scary. Quite a big steep and at the bottom slope is very narrow. Got to control speed all the time here.

[@leightondavies8884]

Simply wonderful !! I’ve ski’d the last few years from the Col de Lana hotel on the Pordoi but having to miss this year - can’t work out if watching this helped or not 😢 … amazing content

[@InspiredITALY]

Wish that you were here Leighton! Keep watching for our #short updates!

[@peterd7157]

Will go to visit some day

[@amadozz]

i love you guys

[@InspiredITALY]

Thanks Andrea! We can feel the love!

[@petrhybler1618]

is this suitable for snowboards? some parts looked flatter (esp towards the end) ... otherwise nice video :) good job

[@InspiredITALY]

Obviously, we aren't boarders and I have never boarded but yes, I think that this is good for boarders.

[@zarlior]

Amazing

[@InspiredITALY]

Thanks Lior!

[@glenharper5810]

Awesome video and narration, Thankyou! Would you suggest staying in Cortina? Where would you suggest staying on the sunnyside? Not sure if that question makes sense but very new to this idea and may travel in March to the Dolomites Life is short!!! Im 62 in March Thanks again for the great footage and planting the seed!!!

[@InspiredITALY]

Hi Glen, sorry for the slow response. Did you make it? When we go to Cortina, we stay in rifugi, on the mountain. You could try Rif Pomedes.

[@ufukgoksu9851]

Are there also nice blue (wide) ski runs from the top? Thank you.

[@InspiredITALY]

I am afraid not! This is the only way down from the top of Tofana. Although other areas have some nice gentle runs.

[@AthelstanEngland]

Thinking of going to Cortina pre Christmas around 17th December. Anyone been that early in the season? Thanks

[@louiseanderton6748]

Hi Archie, we skied the Forcella around that time last season, we had fantastic conditions, hoping for great snow again this season

[@AthelstanEngland]

@@louiseanderton6748 wicked! Thanks for the reply.

[@InspiredITALY]

If the snow is good (like last season) it's a heaven on earth!

[@davesmulders3931]

Is it me, or are you just sliding down the steep sections, not carving turns? I was taught by a quite a couple of instructors that this much upper body rotation will result in a wipe-out on a black, but apparently that is not true.

[@InspiredITALY]

Hello Dave, well thats quite a technical question really! Unless you're a racer, it is truly impossible to carve the steeps on the Forcella! You'd reach terminal velocity in no time at all! Happy skiing!

[@davesmulders3931]

@@InspiredITALY I'm a technical guy :) I always try to carve and just finish (or close) the turns at the end for speed control. Takes sharp skis though and I always struggle when slopes get icy: it's scary to crank in high edge angles then. This is much safer (or so it looks) and works for any condition.

[@slenderice]

I blinked twice when I saw it was an old lady

[@InspiredITALY]

OLD LADY???? That's my wife! I think that she might have words for you young Alex! Doesn't she ski well!

[@TheWheeziestJay]

I'll be visiting Italy in early May, what are the odds I can squeeze a fee runs in at this masterclass mountaintain? 😅

[@InspiredITALY]

Ciao Zach, highly unlikely this season I am afraid. Have a great time anyway!

[@TheWheeziestJay]

@@InspiredITALY Thank you so much for the response. Although it wasn't the one I was looking forward to haha. I will definitely still have an amazing time no doubt. I will just have to come back for the skiing!

[@jimmydingo7138]

I'm rather envious. I now live in Montana where we have 2 ski areas but neither ranks above a 5 on a scale of 1-10. I've never skied in South Tirol Dolomites but I can only dream to- I won't take the CV-19 jab so Italy won't let me go there.

[@InspiredITALY]

Jimmy, as of May 1st, you should be able to travel again!

[@jimmydingo7138]

@@InspiredITALY Thanks for the update, however, I think they will still not let me go there because I refuse to take the jab. So It may be years or more, if ever. IT's up to the Italian Government's whims-

[@robwhitty]

Skiing during covid while we all stayed home ?

[@albertorudi5168]

You did well to go skiing in Cortina on 2021. After the next 2026 Olympics it will be ruined by traffic and smog and by thousands of people crowded together. Everything will be much worse, even the prices. Business unfortunately will go over Natural Environment

[@InspiredITALY]

Well certainly there is some concern about the Olympics but that's a pretty negative view .... We'll keep a positive outlook until we know otherwise!

[@graemebdh2172]

I do love ❤️ skiing ⛷ in the Dolomites. You are so lucky. I am an Aussie skier who is just too far away. 🥲

[@InspiredITALY]

Hi Graeme, we have lots of Australian guests and even a few coming over this season. Go on, give it a try! Happy to offer you whatever support we can.

[@waltergobbi]

i nomi corretti sono "Forcella Rossa", "Tofana". Rispettate almeno i nomi in italiano!

[@InspiredITALY]

We do our best Walter. No offence intended. Italian is not the easiest of languages for us native English speakers but I love to try to use the correct names, terms etc. Note to self: must try harder!
