The Crystal Ski Fest started yesterday – bigger, bolder and even better than ever. Previously known as the Crystal Ski Challenge, it is the ski event for 2010. And where’s the Ski Fest calling home this week? Sestriere in Italy.

We’ll be keeping you informed with all things Ski Fest this week so check back for the latest pictures and updates as and when they happen.

We are hoping to get regular news updates from our team on the slopes throughout the week. And they’re not wasting any time (big thanks to Sue) with their first Ski Fest update. We’ve got our first pics from the Ski Fest, and there’s no doubt that it’s looking fantastic out there.

“Blue skies and great snow conditions in Sestriere which is part of the ‘Milky Way ski area’ where the Ski Fest is being held this year. Under expert guidance of BASI and BSA instructors, groups headed off at 10am to get their skis legs back before afternoon sessions.”

Bright blue skies, decent snow and lots of skiing to be enjoyed. Looks like it’s going to be another cracking week.
