 Poster: A snowHead
|
We were thinking of going back to Selva next year. However, two friends of ours, who have never skied might come along, so we have decided that we might try Soldeu in Andorra. This is where I went for my first ever ski holiday and found the place and instruction to be really good.
How early is it safe to book Soldeu, Andorra?
Thanks.

Not absolutely sure what you mean? You could book now and be assured a place. However, bearing in mind the terrible season Andorra has had this year, I doubt many people will be booking early - which means there will be some great deals closer to the start of next season.
Really depends on how particular you are about where you want to stay. Sport and Sport village hotels will probably book up early, other accommodation not so early.

I used to work there and I'm not sure what he means by the Mechanics either. Snow can come in early December in Andorra and when I was there we had our biggest snow storm in April!

jb1970, Never booked before November, never had a problem. Unless there are hundreds of you and you want to go at half term, I wouldn't worry too much. Soldeu's great, if a little quieter these days and most of the hotels in Andorra seem to aim for pretty much the same standard. For nightlife I'd chose Pas de la Casa over Soldeu, otherwise Soldeu has the edge. Conditions were terrible this year and we still skied everyday and had a great time, the only way you'll get the best snow conditions for any ski holiday is wait until the very last moment to book and then the accommodation may not be up to scratch. Book Andorra now and you'll be fine, leave it six months and you'll be fine.
Mechanics?

FenlandSkier, that's easy for you to say, every time I take my sledge for a service it comes back with a twisted runner ...

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

You know it makes sense.

That reminds me brian, I must get an old pair of short skis off Ebay to put on my sledge ready for next year. Last time I took it out for a spin it lost a few inches of runner  damn gritter beat us to the good roads.

Smokin Joe, When you say Mechanics - are you referring to my paranoia "there's something wrong with my car" state of mind!

jb1970, Our instructor told us that the resort usually opens at the beginning of December and that there is a 4 day Spanish holiday around the 6th when the place gets rammed.
However, this year it was mid December and it wasn't great even then
