My goodness, that felt good.....

If I had a choice of one or the other, I'd prefer to have it a bit short of snow and beautiful sunny weather, than masses of snow but a bitter cold blizzard so I can't see where I'm going.

Edit - sorry, forgot to say thanks for the lovely photos, Tony. It does look a great place.

Poor visibility is the best type of roller coaster :lol:

I'll take good snow every time 8)

Pistes looked busy then! Far from the madding crowd.
I love Andorra & would give it five stars if it wasnt for the transfer from Toulouse.

My preferred snow conditions, I love it when it is a white out & you have to feel your way down the mountain to the nearest hut & sit it out, then when everyone else has left the mountain & the weather clears Ahhhhhhh heaven.

Its not shorter from Barcelona I am afraid, although more direct roads.
Yes, it was really quiet, they made an effort to open Pas especially for us and there were a few locals, the odd tourist, and a couple of ski clubs out that was all. Arcalis was even better, we had the pistes virtually to ourselves, it was amazing. And fast.

Can I enquire if it was a good deal? :mrgreen:

You have got to be joking Finn! I really hate it when I can't see, and I'm afraid I'm going to ski over the edge of a precipice.

As long as I can see, I'm not afraid of anything - long drops under the chairlift, moguls, ice, steep drops etc. And I can never remember which marks mean what on which side of the piste marking poles. I think if I was ever on my own in conditions when I couldn't see anything I'd stay where I was and wait to be rescued (or the weather to clear), rather than risk getting lost.
