Is there any activity up north after today's snow?

I'm just back from spending 3 months in Soldeu, Andorra. Really glad to be home, like Tony H I cant understand why anyone would ever consider going to Andorra when there are so many other good resorts around..............WHY STAY FOR 3 MONTHS?

The ski-ing was poor, the snow was rubbish and no pisting is ever done, especially on the front runs which I had to ski first thing in the morning most days. The pistes are exceptionally busy, I had to queue once during Spanish Carnaval week..........SNOW WAS OK AND PISTED EVERY NIGHT FOR EACH OF THE PREVIOUS 3 YEARS I WAS THERE. ALSO NEVER QUEUED IN THOSE 3 YEARS.

The restaurants in town are also poor especially the Bruxelles which charges 12 Euros for a 3 course meal including steak........YOU ARE HAVING A LAUGH WITH THIS ONE.

The people in town, locals and instructors are not very welcoming and are never seen in the pubs in the town..........THEY WERE FOR THE PREVIOUS 3 YEARS.

There is never any music on in any of the pubs, particularly The Harp which has no atmosphere whatsoever and is always busy for some reason..........CAN'T COMMENT, WE USED THE VILLAGER.

The pubs also charge ridiculous prices for beer compared to France, and the skiing equipment is also ridiculously priced,should anyone wish to buy skis or boots.........SAME ANYWHERE IN EUROPE.

In short, DONT go to Soldeu, you wont enjoy it.........WE DID.

Soldeu is always a safe bet.

He comes off at 6.44 and breaks his arm at 8.05.

Absolutely mental.

Like Tonypants, I come somewhere between All Mountain Freeskier/Weekend Warrior. However I had my first taste of mogul conditions this year and found the experience both challenging and beneficial.
