a new ski school was born on the Asiago plateau, it is the Larici - Val Formica, a team of fourteen instructors. Some are young, others have thirty years of experience in teaching, so it is a group able to combine tradition and innovation.

"After the rebirth of the ski area that in recent seasons has seen the presence of a group of instructors - explains Cristiano Carli, director of the new ski school - there was a need to provide a more complete and organized service, with a school that had operational headquarters at the station, so as to be able to propose a tourist-sports offer able to meet all needs.

The specializations and qualifications of our ski and snowboard instructors allow us to satisfy all requests: teaching children, the disabled, in a foreign language, teaching by federal coaches for those who aspire to undertake the path of competitive activity. The school was also born in a perspective of what may be the future development of this area, which we consider the most beautiful of the Asiago plateau because it is wide and very sunny, as well as located at a sufficiently high altitude to guarantee adequate snow.

An area that has great potential: today it is particularly suitable for families, with ideal slopes for teaching children and a global offer that allows parents not only to ski, but also to do other activities or relax quietly while the children take lessons. But in the future, given the development projects of the area, the station can also become important for those looking for more challenging slopes, and play a leading role in the panorama of the winter offer".

"Our project - continues Carli - aspires to be more than a ski school according to what is the traditional concept: we intend to combine teaching with a series of activities related to the environment in which we are going to operate, collaborating with the ski area in the organization of events that can be torchlight processions, music with DJs, promotional moments dedicated to sponsors and companies in the sector, events with guests. We also intend to reserve days in certain seasonal periods to promote the dissemination of skiing, which is among the legislative objectives required of ski schools. Particular attention will be paid to the offers for schools in the province and region, precisely with the desire to bring children and young people closer to this sport".

The Larici Val Formica Ski School does not intend to do its own thing, but hopes for collaboration with other schools, hoping that it will be possible to create an association of the Ski Schools of the Plateau. Meanwhile, while waiting for the winter season to arrive, the new ski school is focusing on promotion to make known activities and initiatives, both through the site (currently under construction) www.scuolascilaricivalformica.it, and with the organization of direct promotion through the presence of collaborators in various locations.
