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

Not sure how much it compares to anywhere else. The last couple of seasons, early season has been saved by man made as most natural snow fell Feb/Mar.

I did a quick sanity check, how boring/sad and it sounds a lot of water......but Rutland Water one of the UKs largest reservoirs is over 124m cu m so 100+ times that usage.
Even more boring - the amount of 40 odd olympic sized swimming pools.
A lot but a big area to cover.

I don’t even think it was half term that week. Certainly, it wasn’t in Andorra and I don’t think it was in the U.K. either.

@countryman, we’ve had a lot of snow and rain since they stopped using the cannons (end of Feb). I’m pretty sure they’ve already said that the reservoirs are full ready for next season. Probably more interesting would be the amount of electricity used either for lifts of snow cannons - although both Grandvalira and Pal Arinsal have reasonable sized solar farms next to them.

Looks like the season's been pretty heavy on the artificial snow. It seems like it's been helping a lot early on, especially when the natural snow's only really come in later in the season.

Not sure where they base that measurement on but the highest lift in Arinsal is a couple of hundred metres higher than Pal. I’d be surprised if 200m made that much difference though.
