Yes I appreciate that but wondered if they keep pumping out the artificial stuff on the green runs provided there is some snow on the ground already.

Hello all,

Well, current conditions are FANTASTIC!!! The snow is amazing and we have about 5m of it. All areas are open and all areas are good!! The slow lift (montebajo) that takes you straight to the blacks still isn't open, because it is buried under snow :lolno:
Last year it was open until mid May and if it keeps going like it is here it will be this year too.
We have had a couple of sunny days and right now it is snowing, light snow but nevertheless snowing.

Sorry for the delay in replying, I didn't get the email to say you had written on the post.

All the best and safe skiing
Ulli
PS the artificial stuff is only when it is needed. Except a couple of times this year when they had to do it since the deposit was too full

Have just come down from the piste and WOW!!! :shock: It is incredible. The snow is amazing! I had to get home though since I have burnt my face, oh yes today factor 30 wasn't enough... I should've known... :lolno:

A warning, if you are planning to come here this weekend it is Spanish Father's day on Friday which is a national holiday and it looks like the place is going to be PACKED.

Apart from that, enjoy the skiing!

It is typical spring conditions, hard/icy (depending on if you ski or snowboard) in the morning and then as the sun warms up it gets softer and slush at the end of the day
