A bit early for any skiing, but we had a reasonable amount of snow around Andorra this morning (settled to 1,500m but some flakes down to 1,300m) with more forecast in the coming days. Fingers crossed I might get out for a tour at the weekend if this hangs about.

@Maort, that's more significant snowfall yesterday than there was most of last season (at least until the end of Feb!). It probably won't hang about for a month but fingers crossed it remains cold.

Very heavy, dirty Saharan rain today. Rain forecast most of the weekend which may turn to snow higher up.

It's suddenly very cold in BCN, and lots of snow forecast for the Pyrenees, IIRC last December there was loads of snow also!

@mrvinegar, I’ve just had to wear a hat and gloves to take the dog out for a walk. It has indeed gone cold. Cannons look like they’ve been firing for a while to get a base down ahead of the forecasted snow. Arcalis is looking relatively good already.

Snow to all levels in Andorra which is unusual for this time of year and usually only happens a couple of times each winter anyway. A friend in Soldeu said she had to clear about 30cm of snow to get her car out of her garage.

As often happens, the snow came with strong winds so snow cover looks a bit patchy in more exposed places. Hopefully, the snow forecast in the next couple of days should cover those up. It's also going to turn really cold again for 4-5 days so the cannons will probably be on full whack.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Up in the ski areas it's been snowing pretty much since yesterday morning. It's still very windy so those exposed patches still look fairly bare, but there should be plenty of snow in the sheltered place. There's a bit more snow forecast Saturday evening into Sunday.
No news on an early opening anywhere in Andorra, but I understand Porte Puymorens is planning to open on Saturday.

Masella opened yesterday so they could unveil their "First ski area in the Pyrenees to open" banner. Judging by the photo it was just ski instructors there!
Arcalis opened this afternoon.
Roof bars will be put back on tonight ready for the weekend!

Felt really quite rough on Friday evening and Saturday so decided to not go out. I did today though. Really nice conditions in Arcalis. Only the top La Coma area open and the long green back to the base, but that was fine for a few hours getting some season opening turns in.
Little top up of snow forecast this week ahead of the main opening. It’ll be a busy weekend due to it being a holiday weekend.

Skied Saturday (Grandvalira) and Monday (Pal Arinsal). Snow was ok for the opening weekend. Some pistes were great. Others were marginally safe to ski! We could do with a bit more snow or the cannons on full - neither look likely this week.

@mrvinegar, there's a little bit now in the forecast for beginning to middle of next week. The question will be reliability and the freezing level.
