Just amazing in Andorra now.
We rode from Pas to El Tarter, pure powder there and back, on and off piste. 6.5 hrs of riding and blue skies too. The locals are talking about another 50cm over the next 2 days.
Happy days.

Its still snowing and viz is poor (30-50m). Guiding put back to Friday.
Snow ploughs working the town roads all night with their bloody reverse beepers and then pistuers dynamiting this morning have together ensured we didn't get much sleep.

Thanks guys.
We went out with a guide after all. New tracks every where we went, some of it in waiste deep powder.
Viz above 2300m awful but great lower down.
20cm expect tonight and tomorrow with good viz from Friday onwards.
In 15 years of riding a board, this is the best snow conditions ever.

Best day ever today.
Sunshine and new tracks everywhere. The best off piste and on piste boarding I have ever done.
Powder fields, untouched, virgin forests and empty red and black pistes.
Incredible!
I am totally knackered but I will be first in the queue for the lifts tomorrow.
I love the Pyrenees.

hopefully heading up this sunay again, im working in montserrat and on a lexus job, with a bunch of fellow race circuit instructors, we were only about 2hrs away from powder so couldnt resist! more powder on the slopes this weeks and deserted pistes we cant resist
we came up last sunday for a totally ill equipped fresh powder session on rental gear in jeans and whatever clothes we could muster up. so if you saw a bunch of idiots being led by andy the basi man it was us

Before this strong storm we had some time to find some powder in high and remote Pyrenees.... HUGE acumulations of snow, that if today brings half a metre more, and forecast for friday-saturday are half a metre more (at LESS), will confirm this season as a RECORD season.
We spend sunday and monday in the colomers area in Val d'Aran, the Aiguamog valley is renowned for its innivation, we put the skis at only 1400m after a warm and dry march, and being in April isn't common at the Pyrenees.
We skied Saturday the Tuc de Salana (2485m) and monday we skied the N couloir of Gran Tuc de Colomers (2983m) in an amazing powder snow. The cirque the Colomers is a pure N cirque that acts as a fridge, so above 2500m we skied in a nice powder, then skied in a nice spring snow...
The objective of the day:

I am really pleased that the Pyrenees has had such a good year. I think its always been good but all of my mates have said they definitely want to go there now.
My trip last week was my best trip ever because of the snow, because of the nightlife and because of the genuine friendliness of the locals.
I've been to Chamonix, La Plagne and Andorra this year. Andorra was the best boarding of the lot.
I would love to do a season there, finding the secrets that AlTom and MetalHead find.
