Gsyfreerider,
Flights: Outbound: Delayed 3 hrs on tarmac due to snow
Inbound: Delayed 2 hrs due to "The French"
Pilots were fantastic though, both times were issues beyond their control. 5/10
Skiing: 5 days of poor vis, 1 day of good vis but very icy. Limited slopes. 1/10
Hotel: The Crest is a filthy hole. 0/10
Apres: Fairly tame 5/10
You gets what you pays for

Gsyfreerider,
I admit, I am being a bit flippant, and will post a more balanced report later. Conditions always play a big part in the quality of a holiday and that was really the worst bit. Any of the first timers in our hotel did have a great holiday, but then they haven't skied Courcheval, Lake Lousie and Val Gardena!!

Very variable conditions this season, freezing levels now are about 3000m, but ten days ago were at 0 meters,....it's like Roller coaster.
The total amount of snow is fairly good above 2000m; but for the piste skiing the snow is poor at the moment. It's seems that the next week the weather will improve these conditions, with snow and lower freezing levels.

The snow has returned, up to 40cm of fresh snow in andorra in the las 2 days, and still falling lightly this morning.
During the afternoon a new disturbance will come, and bring new snowfalls, may be 20-30cm more until monday afternoon.
The next week we expect a very cold weather with temperatures coming closer to -20 at 2500m and to -10ºc at resorts level at the end of the week.

I'm just back from a week in the Pyrenees. Boarded at Ax les Thermes and Pas de la Casa. 28th and 29th in Ax were grim. huge bald patches on most runs and slushy brown snow all around (and a bajillion beginners doing their best to scrape the snow right down to the rocks). My board ended up with some annoying battlescars just from rocks on the pistes (i wouldn't mind if they were off piste injuries!).
Drove up to Pas on 30th to find strong winds had closed much of the resort and what was left was perilous Ice. Still at least they have a decent base up there so there aren't any thin bits.
The snow arrived in Pas on the night of the 30th and dropped between 8 and 20 inches i'd say. conditions on 31st, 1st, and 2nd were all excellent although if i was being picky there were slight visibility problems on 1st. Off piste conditions were really good with decent coverage following the snowfall. There seemed to be little flurries of snow up there most nights which helped keep everything neat.
Now i just have to get the board prepped for Val Thoren in March.
Peace out.

Today's forecast of snow did not develop into much here in the central Pyrenees. Both the GFS and a host of other sites were forecasting between 5 and 15cm and though there is snow around it is fairly light. Temperatures have already started to fall which will mean a mix of light fresh and man made for a few days to top things up.
I will be happy when the Spanish holiday is over (3 kings) and some sort of calm returns to the piste. :

Still snowing today however strong winds and poor visibility have made the start of the weekend a bit miserable after the highs of yesterdays powder. Very cold but the snow is staying in fantastic shape.

Am in espiaube, part of the Saint Lary Soulain resort. The resort is 92% open and the conditions over the last few days have been great. We have about 50cm more snow forecast for the end of the week which will add to a great base layer. The canons have been working hard during the last few days of arctic temperatures to boost the depth of snow in the lower slopes and it is looking pretty good everywhere. Minimal queueing for lifts and fairly empty pistes now that the holidays are over makes skiing here a joy at the moment. Will try and get you some photos once I have worked out how to upload them.

I was there last week and conditions where fine, I have spoken to people who are there and there has been plenty more snow since I left. Looks as if the wind has taken some of the snow from the upper areas.
I'll be back up there on the 24th for 3 weeks, I had planned to go up today but my accom is occupied, good job I checked car is part packed
