There are some fantastic photo's in that collection. There weather is calm in the Central Pyrenees at the moment, with empty slopes and great snow. Light cloud and not too cold - great conditions generally all around.
Next snow due Wed/Thurs with the hint of some decent amounts at the weekend turning colder again next week.
There was a long article yesterday in the "Depeche" the newspaper that covers the Midi Pyrenees talking about the massive number of British skiers going in and out of Toulouse each Sunday. Its just a pity that these are nearly all heading to Andorra as they are missing a great experience in both the French and Spanish Pyrenees.
Latest snow depths:
Baqueira Beret 105/165
Peyragudes 80/110
Superbagneres 70/90

Dypcdiver, Cheers - Is there a UK version for these or is it a Google job for non French speakers ?

The site that covers Baqueira is good, though a mix of English and Catalan but easy to understand. For our area I generally just follow the daily announcement from each resort though with meteo.fr you can get some detail though only in French.

For info they have been blasting most days to try and break up some of the slab that has formed under the powder of the last week. It is mainly moderate to high across the region.

For Val d'Aran you have an special website. Is really really useful that apart from snow report a, latest snow profiles, last avalanche reports, it also brings information on all Aran subvalleys about avalanche activity, exposed areas, where the roads or tracks are barried by snow. Really useful for ski mountainering.
The problem for you could be maybe that only is in 3 languages (catalan, spanish and aranes, another language that speaks people from Aran Valley), but you can try to contact by email if you have specific questions.

Sorry, but none I know of, however I find the avalanche risk is quite easy to translate 
On a more serious note, I seem to remember seeing a list of French terms for weather forecast translated to English, might have been on http://www.henrysavalanchetalk.com/

Just back from a great week in Baqueira, plenty of snow especially on the cannon coverered slopes but the reported 105/165 on the web site might be a bit ambitious in some places, but is probably why some of the pistes are closed.
Solei was open some of the time we were there but closed more ... as it seems some of the southish facing slopes, like Ticolet and Dossau, suffer a bit more than the others.
The fresh powder we had on Thursday was excellent, especially as we were the first on it on the Bonaigua side.
More details and photos later.

I'm counting down the days  How's Superbagneres skiing at the mo ? I'm tempted to have a day over from Baqueira.

Snowing hard in Bareges. 25cm reported up in the Tourmalet resort last night, and it hasn't let up all day, so it is going to be pretty significant by tomorrow. The Lienz area opened this morning, which will bring the resort close to 100% open. We have fantastic skiing conditions, and the slopes are still really quiet prior to the February holidays....just wish I didn't have to stay at home and look after our baby (lovely as she is!)...sob sob, so much powder and so little time.

Baqueira Beret was fantastic yesterday, and reported 30cm of new powder this morning.
|
Just back from Baqueira last night. 30cm of fresh powder on Sat as Ski Guide, reported but also another 30cm overnight into Sunday which meant soft stuff almost everywhere you turned, or fell. 
Visibility was reasonable in the morning but then bad at the peaks until the sun came out around 1.30pm. When we left at 4.30 it seemed that the sky was clearing completely and today's view on the webcam is superb! See http://www.baqueira.es/webcams/web-baqueira/web-baqueira-1800.
The pistes were getting a bit too bumpy for my tastes, especially the runs back to our hotel. I would hope that clear skies and some grooming will make for perfect conditions this week.
