Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Pas de la Casa

Poster: A snowHead
Three 22 year olds, male, of to Pas on 11th Jan. None skied anywhere other than the Alps. One a powder hound who's being skiing since 4 years old, one an early intermediate and one with only Snozone under his belt. Apres they can and will sort without any parental questioning aka interference Embarassed . We are told Andorra is not great for off piste. What are Snowheads' opinions and suggestions? Many thanks.

Hi Aneira
You'll have no probs finding lively apres in Pas, and the Grandvalira ski area has plenty of terrain to keep all 3 of you happy.
It's sort of true re the off-piste though, it's certainly not epic in comparision to VDI, 3 Valleys, Cham. etc., but there are plenty of inter-piste snowfields to play around in the Andorran resorts to deliver a pow fix as long as the conditions allow. The thing about Andorra is that the warmer southern temperatures degrade ungroomed snow quicker than in the Alps, and the ski area in Grandvalira covers relatively rounded mountaintops, so most of the in-bounds off-piste is a bit tame; true off-piste away from the ski area (with a local mountain guide natch) is as full-on as you want it to be.
There are 2 crackin in-bounds freeride zones to check out: one on the Grau Roig side of the peak of Pic Blanc, directly above Pas (lift-accessible, but you must book to use it with an instructor/guide), plus the weekend-only ratrac-tow (cat-skiing) operation on the Pic d'Encampadana in the neighbouring El Tarter sector (all included on the full GV skipass snowHead ). Assuming you'll be leaving on Sunday 18th, get your butts over there early on Saturday 17th - no need to book, just turn up a grab a tow behind the cat.
The cliffs & couloirs on the face of the Tossal de la Llosada above El Tarter's snowbowl can also scare the bejesus out of you if you're up for a spot of steeper stuff.

Aneira, I was there in December and it was great. The runs are a littke short but aside from that, fantastic. Not overcrowded, booze is very cheap and food isn't pricey. I ski but did 3 days on a board as the others are keen boarders, there is planty of off piste to do. I'm not sure about backcountry stuff but I know there are guides there.
