 Poster: A snowHead
|
I'm thinking of a fairly last minute ski trip for a few days. I've never been to the Sierra nevada ski resort before and am worried about committing.
The lifts open this coming weekend and we'd travel there for the Monday afterwards.
Has anyone managed any skiing here at the end of November before?

Webcams showing natural snow down to the village and cannons on full blast, I'd go for it! I've been early December and had a great time.

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

Yes Ive skied there in November three times over last 10 years. We always go to Nerja last weekend of November and if the snow looks OK, we have a day at Sierra Nevada. The skiing is generally OK but a little limited if just the core of the area (Borreguiles) is open, but benefits massively when the Les Lagunas lift and area is opened up - with long quiet reds from the top of the mountain. Piste preparation is generally very good, and there are a few fast detachable chairlifts. Wonderful view from the top over the med!

Webcams looking great and more precipitation forecast over next few days. View from Costa Tropical this am amazing. Laguna sector does not have snowmaking and webcams can be deceptive as one can get a lot of wind scouring. imho the best area as so quiet and nice range of runs and view from top ridge but can be very windexposed at the top.

You'll need to Register first of course.

There will be some melt in the next week or so.
But there should be enough open at end-Nov for 1-2 days of sliding.

Its probably worth me just mentioning the British Ski Centre in Pradollano, the main ski village at Sierra Nevada. They have operated there for many years. Good website and we have always found them very friendly and helpful for help and advice as well as English speaking hire and lessons. See https://www.britishskicenter.co.uk/
