Nice one! I'm sure you'll love it. Check out http://www.arinsal.co.uk/winter/en/index.html for a load more info on the resort. There's a few drink/meal vouchers on there as well.

Have a good one!

Benny I too would recommend Arinsal. I was in exactly the same boat as you in 2007 (skied on a school trip to Switzerland around 96/97) I went to Arinsal with a couple of mates who'd never skied at all and they got on brilliantly. Couple of lessons from the top notch ski school was all we needed to enjoy the week.
The Sant Andreu hotel's basically a second home for us now (recommend it 100%) and we're off there again on the 29th.
Andorra's got it's limitations once you reach a certain level but there's enough out there for me and it's still a bargain in my opinion.


Clarkysteph - might see you on the slopes! Where you staying this year?

La Capa black run, Arinsal
Started by User in Andorra, 5 Replies
Hey people, just wondering if anyone here has skied the La Capa black run in Arinsal. I've never seen anyone ski it and haven't been good [stupid?] enough to try it myself but our group's progresseed quite a bit (hopefully in ability not just confidence!) and we're beginning to think we might give it a crack. Haven't done a black run before and was kind of wondering what to expect, as in is it a reall ball breaker or could you call it a 'difficult red' that's just been stuck on the map as a black run? We climbed/walked to the top in the summer on a motorbike trip so it'd be nice to have conquered it in both seasons.

Heading out Friday 29th for a week and can't wait! Glad to read there's been a bit more snow this week.
