Spain or USA? I have some experience of skiing in the US Sierra Nevada, but I'm guessing that it's Spain you're going to.

I would go in Jan, if you can hold out until then. Winter starts later in that part of Spain, due to its southerly location.
Sierra Nevada will be open in Dec, but don't expect bucketloads of snow and masses of runs. Wind is also a problem at that time of year, due to its relative proximity to the sea.
You have to be careful with selecting accommodation in Sierra Nevada as it is built on a hillside and you can easily find yourself walking long distances up steep roads to get to and from lifts.
Sierra Nevada is a very good resort, and it definitely deserves more attention than it gets, but if you are higher than intermediate level, you should expect to get bored there after 3 or 4 days, due to its modest terrain.

Didn't there used to be one amongst us from that region? Can't for the life of me recall who it was, but perhaps someone else can. If so, may be worth dropping them a PM. Not much help, I admit.
