Hi there,
I've just come back from Pas de la casa and one of my party was 74 he started skiing last year and he has only had 12 days of actual skiing. We had him on red runs all week. I was amazed so dont think age is an issue its all in the mind. You will be fine get some lessons learn the basics and enjoy the experience. You will never know if you don't try :) good luck! |

Hi shazz,
Just got back this week from pas stayed at Cal Ruiz (at the bottom near the sport centre great hotel friendly staff clean and tidy. Anyway to the nitty gritty i didnt want to come back home Pas was excellent some great runs. Theres two very easy green runs in pas to get you started the rope pully is a pain on the top green but you soon get past that and on to blues and hopefully reds if you get into the groove. Group Lesson from a qualified instructor is a good move if you are complete novices they are very good most of them are born on skis :) I was amazed at how fast i picked it up. I went last year same time so i have only had around 12days of actual skiing and now im on the reds in the other valleys. The snow fall has been amazing this year and the runs are maintained everynight so no worries in that area. I recommend getting boot/ski lockers if you decide to get a hotel near the bottom of pas the 10min walk up hill in boots can be a killer. There are so many blue and red runs in the other valleys and some great scenery we managed to get to soldeu and tarter before we had to head back before 5 when the lifts close. Im a skier so not sure about boarding but from the way they hurtle down the runs at warp factor 9 i guess its just as good for boarders. Get your lift passes on line will be slightly cheaper then buying when you get there. Remember to get complete lift pas details when booking not just confirmation print out else you will have fun when getting your pass at the centre. Hope you and your group have a great time. Hope this info helps you |

Hi there,
Im new to this forum (1st post) but read your message and felt like telling you that pas de la casa in andorra was fun last year even tho it had little snow and it was my 1st time. The resort had plenty of blue runs. bottom greens were busy but once you get on the lifts and into the other valleys it was amazing loads of freedom on the blues. After taking lesson during the morning with a great tutor who had me skiing in no time at all i was skiing blues by the end of day 2. Some fun runs and great views. People friendly. Will be busy tho in feb on the bank hols. Good news plenty of snow this year:) Heading back in feb myself this year ...cant wait! I agree the food is bland but it can be fun figuring out what the hells on your plate (not many dogs or cats roaming the streets put it that way ) anyway i dont go on skiing hols for the food. hope you have a great time where ever you end up! |
