Access all areas: Ferrari's pre-season ski camp

Wroom may be a multi-day media promotional event for Ferrari and Ducati, but as Jonathan Noble found out, it's also a great chance to get to know more about the sport's biggest stars on a social level

Valentino Rossi flies right past me at what seems like 200mph, darting from side to side on his snowboard. Then, moments later, two chaps dressed in Ferrari gear - followed by a camera crew - are whizzing down the slopes after him.

Amid all the excitement - and discussion with a colleague about whether it was Fernando Alonso or Felipe Massa - I lose my footing, grab a front edge on my snowboard and tumble head over heels into the snow. The quick boys are long gone by the time I am back on my feet.
