Race Training Opportunities around Milan Italy this January (Masters)?

[breck]

Howdy all,
I am off for a christening in Milan mid-January and thought I see if there were any Masters level training programs within the ski areas around Milan?
I am hoping to be there for two weeks but wife doesn't ski so being based in Milan has huge advantages. I'll be on SL skis, tele which should prove entertaining.
I could also race if there is that option.

thanks

Breck

There's got to be some serious free-heel vibes Italy, given that it's always had a strong influence on said enlightenment. Seems like you should be able to get the best info directly from them. For example, start by contacting Scarpa's free-heel geeks.

Now you are talking. I am looking into it. Thanks so much.

Had a looksie, planets seem to have aligned, I don't think there are any Masters FIS binding rules so I'll be good to go. Trip just got way fun.

Has anyone been before that can report? Looks like 2023 got canceled.

Welcome to Milan!
Try and contact the nearest racing ski club...if you will be based in Milan city, this might be the one : https://www.milanoskiteam.it/
(but their home page is in Italian only, so some language barrier might throw itself in the way)
But Tele is not that big. The "mecca" for tele skiers should be Livigno, alternatively look into Madesimo (home to a long time member, not active anymore and not a tele skier, that I can see) or farther west, Alagna...
At my Home Mountain I don't see that many Tele skiers, let alone racers. Ski schools do provide some instructions, but it is very rare.
