Don't you mean "best" you've ever seen?
It must be a nightmare when they close the lifts, just because its snowing hard.
I assume it was wind that caused the problem?
Luckily enough I've never been anywhere where they've closed the lifts, just found less people came out to play when it dumped it, strangely.



Tony when it dumps in Andorra it reallu dumps, I have pictures i think it was 1990, lifts were closed for the day due to too much snow and poor vivability if you can picture a telephone box, then it doubled in size with the snow on top.

Yes I meant most/heaviest!

My trip this week has been with a couple of friends who are relative novices but they have come on leaps and bounds in the deep powder. Snowed all day today and we were out in it for the duration. The lift over towards Grau Roig was closed so we stayed up over El Tarter/Soldeu. Knee deep powder that you could ski over, but as soon as you stopped....you sank! Could do with a nice sunny day tomorrow so they can get to see some of the scenery.

Just found out that we skied the only sectors that were open. Apparently the sun is staying away until sunday, but at least that will be better for the drive to Reus. That is providing we can dig the car out! I will post some photos next week....you will wee yourselves. :)

Have been to a number of places where the lifts close due to strong winds - Flima in Switzerland and Lech/Zurs in Austria ot name a few
