I guess private is available 7 days a week, it will be groups that are usually Mon-Fri.
Contact the school directly to check.

What I could gather so far is that instructors are extremely busy this weekend. Many of the English instructors have Saturdays off, but not this weekend.
She might simply have to rock up and book some tuition on the morning. When is she arriving?

You'll get to see more forums and be part of the best ski club on the net.

Do understand that this is Carnival weekend, where many Spanish take a 4-day holiday until Tuesday.

Difficult to say. I'm expecting chaos and long queues at the Spain-Andorra border, though.

You know it makes sense.

Let's see. I'm on the AndBus tonight from Barcelona that gets there around the time you mentioned. (Maybe we're on the same bus).
Two weeks ago on the same bus we had a 14km queue before the border.

Oi! Us boarders get enough grief on here as it is, without planning it in advance

Back on track, does much of Spain get a public holiday for carnival then? We certainly don't in Catalonia . Tis true that there were plenty of people about in Baqueira today...but that's also because it's the first day with visibility since a week and a half ago, and the bad weather returns tonight! Hope things pan out better for you in Andorra, weather-wise

In Arinsal group lessons are either Saturday & Sunday (3 hours per day), or starting Monday for either 3, 4 or 5 days.
Lessons from a Tuesday would need to be private lessons (www.arinsal.co.uk/ski-school-enquiry/)
