 Poster: A snowHead
|
Obviously each year can be different but has anyone done Andorra (Soldeu) late March please?
Can get a reasonable deal for 23rd March and was wondering what snow conditions were like historically around this time.
Kind regards
DJ

@Drunkenjoiner, my first ever ski trip was in Pas de la Casa in the first week of April, and while it was hard packed on day one, there was 50cm of snow on day 2 and it was knee deep at times on piste. I've not been back to Andorra for many reasons, but snow is not one of them.
Historical snow reports are somewhat difficult to find, but here's some info on Soldeu for the last couple of years:
| Quote: |
Soldeu - Deepest Snow by Season
- Snow reported by Soldeu in the 2023/2024 ski season reached 150cm on Wednesday 20th March 2024.
- Snow reported by Soldeu in the 2022/2023 ski season reached 65cm on Friday 24th February 2023.

I'd be more worried about being in Andorra in December, less worried in January, and then comfortable in February and March. April is hit and miss, but it is frequently the case that the snow persists long beyond when people want to ski.

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

Soldeu looks set to close its slopes around Apr 13, 2025.
March will be fine.

@Drunkenjoiner, I’ve skied Andorra until 20-something April for the past three seasons. On a good or normal year March will be fine - in fact fresh snowfall is often better in March than earlier in the winter.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

With a similar question to the OP, does anyone frequent Andorra, Soldeu specifically, in mid-December and/or over the Christmas period? What is the probability of less than 50% of the Grandvalira resort being open so early in the season?

@EViS, I live in Andorra all year round. It's such a difficult question to answer. In recent years... last season less than 50% open (mild and some wet spells decimated decent early season snowfall). Two years ago, probably just over 50% open (cold enough for snow to be made). 3 seasons ago, loads of snow and nearly everything open.
