Under a heavy snowfall in Falcade, in the province of Belluno, the tricolor ski mountaineering titles were awarded for the youth categories. The Ski Alp Valdobbiadene in the Pian della Sussistenza area managed to set up a technical and completely off-piste track despite the heavy snowfall that fell during the night between Saturday and Sunday.
As tradition dictates, the Extreme Badalis was characterized by many technical inversions and challenging sections on foot with descents in fresh snow made treacherous by poor visibility were the ingredients of this finally wintry day of ski mountaineering. The major category faced a route of 1100 meters of altitude diluted in five climbs. The minor categories engaged in tracks with lower differences in altitude.
In the major category, the U20s, it was the SC Alta Valtellina standard bearer Simone Compagnoni who won with 1:10’31” ahead of Hermann Debertolis and Marcello Scarinzi. Giulio Zanelli and Edoardo Mottini are fourth and fifth respectively. Among the women, the Corrado Gex champion, Clizia Vallet, wore the tricolor ahead of Anna Pedranzini and Letizia Maiolani.
Luca Curioni wears the Italian champion medal around his neck in the U18 category ahead of Enrico Pellegrini and Lorenzo Milesi. Martino Ceola and Nicola Rossi are fourth and fifth. Among the women, Melissa Bertolina won with a time of 59’08”, followed by Silvia Boscacci and Martina Scola.
