Does anybody have any idea what the snow is like here in mid march. I am taking my wife and 6 yr old boy to Soldeu to learn to ski and cannot go before the 11 march

mattjd, welcome to sH's. I was in Soldeu around St Patrick's Day a few years back and the snow was very good.
No shortage of it and no rocks/grass showing through but the bottom of the home run was like mashed potato in the afternoon but even then there was plenty of skiing higher up and with the joint lift pass they now have you shouldn't have any problem in an average year.

When I worked there, a couple of years ago, we had just about the best snow of the whole season in April - so I wouldn't worry

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I've been a few times in March, conditions can vary from spring snow to fresh powder but I've never been disappointed, they have terrain facing in all directions and there is usually good snow to be found. The only time I've been when the lift closed was in March (white out - circa 30cm fresh powder) - but the next day!!!!!!!!!

I was there last year last week in Feb/beginning of March. There was plenty of snow. Only a light dusting while I was there so the pistes were a bit crunchy first thing but on the day we left I was worried that we wouldn't make it back down the mountain in the bus because of the blizzard. Loads of snow the following week.
You will have a great time. Enjoy.

mattjd, welcome to  s.
Soldeu is a great resort to learn in, we have been there twice. The atmosphere in the village is very friendly and the ski school has a lot of English-speaking instructors.
It is also well-provided with snow cannon so cover is reliable.
Going in mid-March you have the advantage that the slopes should be reasonably quiet as there are no European school holidays at that point.
You should have a great time.
