Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Pas for a January Stag?

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
Hey guys, sorry for the same old topic again. I've seen a lot of conflicting comments about if Pas de la Casa is good for a stag do so I figured I'd ask you lovely gentlemen. Would it be a good place to go in late January for a small group of mid twenties lads? Looking at flying into Barcelona from the UK and renting a van and driving up. None of us are big skii'ers, more looking to go and give it a bash and have some good craic in the nights. Is the nightlife as good as I hear (Ibiza in the snow) around that time of year?

Also if anyone knows if 'nose clams' are easy to get hold of in Pas? A few of the lads like to hit the slopes when they're not skiing snowHead Laughing

Did you just ask 46000 people, in your first ever post, where to score some cocaine in Pas de la Cass??

Meant more as a figure of speech than the assumption that everyone here is male, sorry for any offensive caused by my post in general.

I mentioned to a friend I was going to make a post here asking for opinions and he asked me to enquire about that which hasn't gone down too well. I wouldn't have asked had I not seen a few older posts mentioning class A's in certain resorts (in similar stag threads). Again, sorry for any offense caused.

I'll happily take some serious answers on the first part of my question (and the second if it's going wink )!

Sorry and thanks again, ladies and gentlemen!

Wow. A load of coked up 'lads' having a go at skiing. What could go wrong.

Please do let us know how you get on. La guardia are normally good for knowing where it's going down.

'Nose clams?'What the ****?? Ta for enlightening me letsgetpiste.

Loved Andorra on a trip to Soldeu a few years back. Had a hire car and visited all the ski areas in the country, plus nearby Porte De Puymorens in France and Masella in Spain on the way back to Barca Airport.

Apart from the drink, the only high was the skiing wink, with the low point being the 6 or 7hrs it took to get back to Barcelona from Masella after skiing on a Sunday. One huge, soul destroying, traffic jam. And that was in low season (January). The outbound trip took about 2.5hrs...

The transfer time is always the killer into Andorra. Practice sleeping on buses as part of your pre season training!

It was simply a case of needing to get from A to B, and since I had paid for the ticket about 9 months prior, it kind of felt 'free' at the time. I was supposed to do another 4 hours extra to an even further destination, but I was literally going out of mind and couldn't do the final leg (which I completed the following day).

Pah, I spent 3 stuck days(!) in KL airport this summer due to a volcano on Bali! Plus the planned 30-odd hours of other travel time.

There is normally plenty of white powder to sniff, just tell your mates to avoid the yellow patches. Well in hindsight maybe don't tell em. Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing

Pas will be in full swing in January (though I've no idea about the off-piste activities Shocked). Ibiza on the snow, I don't know... it's a small mountain town; but it's pretty well geared up for stag dos etc. Note that, beyond the (good) bunny slopes, the skiing is easier in the neighbouring valleys - get yourselves over to the Pla de les Pedres valley that links Grau Roig to Soldeu. Grab a burger from the panoramic restaurant at the top of that valley, and on your way back into Grau Roig do the red Camí de Pessons and get a baguette and a beer by the frozen lake that's halfway down.

@mountainaddict, if you happened to return on a Sunday that was close to the 6th Jan (in some sense the Spanish equivalent of our Christmas Day) then, far from being low season, it was the busiest Sunday of the season in the Spanish Pyrenees and Andorra, and Operación Retorno would have been in full swing. We once (aw, the naivety!) made the mistake of driving up from Barcelona on the first day of that long weekend one year, thinking we were being smart by "leaving early" at 5pm Embarassed. 1 hour later and we'd progressed all of half a kilometer on the city ringroad... which i could have avoided by simply choosing a later entrance, uff. We got to our apartment in Andorra at 1:30am.

Still, although there's always weekend traffic, it's only the Fri eve and Sun eve of peak weekends that get really bad like that.

Thanks for really making my morning on a damp and murky day up north.

Sad to say I had to google the phrase "nose clams", I hope I am now not on anyones radar for being searching for questionable things Skullie Skullie Skullie

Did a stag is Pas about 14 years ago - cheap booze, good food, unchallenging skiing, mosh-pit in the underground bar, seemingly unlimited shots in the Marseilles, relaxed attitude to setting off fire crackers in the streets at 4am. TBH didn't see too much Gianluca going down though.
I subsequently worked in Avoriaz for 4 winters, and did witness a columbian influence there however.

It's probably more common than you realise. Not anything I've seen myself (not that I spend a lot of time in bars or the like when I'm skiing anyway), but wherever there's a party atmosphere like a ski resort there probably isn't too far to go to get hold of nasties. I once got offered cocaine by a drug dealer in Venice, if you can get hold of it in a place like that then I'd have thought it's guaranteed to be around in a party resort.

Our plan was to have a nice night out/meal in Barcelona (our first trip there). Instead, we ended up eating at McDonald's on the Ramblas - I was totally exhausted after the harrowing 7hr drive - at 1am with a load of p1$$heads. ...

To date, our only experience of Barcelona Laughing - we were straight to the airport next morning...
