Hiya,

We've just booked our ski holiday for 2010. We're off to Andorra again- but Pas De La Casa this time. Went to Soldeu last year and Pamporovo the 2 yrs before that.
In Pamps 2 yrs ago I had 2x 3hr snowboard lessons and loved it. So last year I bought some snowboard boots ( am a skier really by the way ) ) and hired a snow board just to have a play around really. Anyway I was rubbish- and I mean really rubbish- so gave up after the first morning!! Doh!

So i'm looking to book a couple of hours of lessons in Pas...any particular suggestions anyone???
I mean for where to get the lessons, and maybe good practice slopes??

Cheers,
Nichola

On the Pas side of the mountain it is mainly red from the top but with plenty of blues/green nearer the bottom the slopes are wide and for giving, it is a great place to polish your skills and most of the ski schools are English speaking 8)

I was trying to track down some ski schools for you but so far no luck, but I came across this rather good piste map 8)

yip - all good information. cost of a 2 hour snowboard lesson is around €80 so not cheap! Make sure you ask for an english speaking instructor who actually DOES speak proper english - I had one once who didnt even know the word for knee!

I'll be up there for the first day of the season soon :D Its only 40 minutes away from where i live!

Enjoy - snow forecast next week and temp here already below freezing overnight :mrgreen:

There's only one school in Pas, and it's run by Grandvalira. If you want private lessons then you book them directly with the ski school, and prices are from €67.50 for 2 hours, but depend on the date and the time of day.

If you want group lessons you can get a discount by pre-booking at http://www.pasdelacasa-andorra.com.

I hope this helps!
