 Poster: A snowHead
|
Right usual caveats to begin, I'm aware nothing is guaranteed and things vary season to season (we went out the first week of January to france last year)
That out the way, if I book a week in grandvalira starting on the 7th Jan, am I likely to be disappointed if I want to ski every day, or is there generally an acceptable amount of snow?

Obviously no guarantees but I'm pretty certain you'll be fine. Even if the weather doesn't provide, the snow making in Grandvalira are extensive and amongst the best out there.
We went in Jan last year after the poor start to the season snow-wise and had unseasonally warm temperatures (it was April like weather!!) but the snow coverage was fantastic and ski conditions were amazing. We had a brilliant time!!!

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Fantastic thank you. I guess I just wanted confirmation that it wasn't a terrible plan.

Was in Pas de La Casa from Jan 16th 2007 for a week. The only snow was ALL man made and I skied on a thin strip of it for the whole week in a small circuit. Good thing was I met my partner there that week and am still with her! Very happy.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Right, but the 2006-7 season was by far the worst in the last 10 years in this neck of the wood. I still have nightmares about it!
Typically, there is plenty of snow on-piste in early Jan but you might well find (because it's par for the course in the Pyrenees at that specific time of year) that you're in the middle of a stubborn high-pressure phase which will mean no top-ups but plenty of sunshine.

I've skied in Andorra for the last 10 years, for 3 weeks each seaon, I have had knee deep powder everyday at Christmas & New Year, and easter! Also skied early December, along some Russian people in bikini's & speedos, as it was so warm.
Conditions vary every season, as they do most places, but I have always managed to ski. We spent a week in Andorra, January 2013/14 season, had a great week, flew from there to France, and it was more suitable for golf than skiing, for the 1st few days.
I learned to ski in 2006/7 and have never had conditions like that since.
