2026 Our Ski Season in Monte Pana, Val Gardena, Dolomiti, Italy and Our 26th Season Skiing Somewhere in the World

     We have begun an entirely new lifestyle phase in 2026. In addition to traveling 365/24/7, we are spending the winter living on the ski slopes with a whole new way of living. Our accommodation was half board for three months, so no grocery shopping, no cooking, no washing dishes. We are well on the way to full assisted living (following our "training" for assisted living at the Four Seasons Vail).

    Val Gardena got early snow and it also makes snow. When we arrived, there was acceptable snow coverage but the area desperately needed new snow. 2026 was our first ski season, after 17, without any skiing at all in Vail. As it turned out, both ski resorts were in dire need of snow in January. (So we weren't missing anything by not skiing Vail.)

    Our Alpine Silence Suite, with its 95 square meters (1022 square feet), had been prepared for our arrival and personalized by Noah Stuffer. Noah is one of the three sons of the family Stuffer that owns and operates the hotel and restaurant on land that has been in the family for generations.
