March madness - still skiing in March, a great time for families

Abetone is a great little ski resort just north west of Florence.  The snow at Abetone, except for the occassional exception, is first rate. This year the snows came in early December and the by New Year more than four metres had fallen.  There are lots of different lifts (25), two of which have wonderful new 6 seater fast cars with covers.  There are never lots of queues and this time of year (late March) you can get some wonderful deals on lift passes and hotels.  Some weeks you can get a ski pass for €15/day and a hotel for €100 with 2 hours of ski lessons thrown in.  Its too good a deal to miss.
