Hi AJ!
If you live in Milan you'la have a lot of opportunities.
In Lombardia Valtellina, in switzerland Engadina, Ticino/Uri/Simplon also Piemonte and Val d'aosta are in a 2 hour range by car.
To investigate snow conditions and tour reports the best site is camptocamp http://www.camptocamp.org (here you can find my profile http://www.camptocamp.org/users/244187/it , i live north of Milan so you can find many interesting routes for you too)
Another website to find reports but less organised for Italy especially Lombardia http://www.on-ice.it/onice/onice_reports.php?type=0 or http://mob.gipfelbuch.ch/gipfelbuch/verhaeltnisse (switzerland)
Also www.gulliver.it for Western Italy (Piemonte, Val d'aosta)

Avalanche reports: www.slf.ch the best website of all..it covers only switzerland.
For Italy you have a report for every region through ARPA website http://www2.arpalombardia.it/siti/arpal ... oNeve.aspx (a site for every region, this one is for Lombardia).

Italian Alpin Club known as CAI is very active with skimountaneering courses and in Milan they do snowboard classes as well (scuola righini for example). It's a good way to learn how to move in the mountains and meet people.

If you need more feel free to ask

Wonderful thank you so much for the reading material!! I see a big storm coming tho Aosta this weekend!! The beginning of winter, I hope so!!!

Welcome AJ! You might have done something wrong in your past life...as you had to move to Milan among all the nice places Italy offers
Just kidding (about your past life only ), Milan is in a good position to reach several mountain resorts.
The guys already gave you some good hints.

Ciao Aj!
Welcome to btfl Italia!
If you fancy also some freeride keep this website checked especially for Mt Rosa and the west: http://wepowder.com/
About splitboarding community...there are some meetings during the year where splitboarders meet and you will see them on this forum/website.

Enjoy! T
