Sierra Nevada has more than 50 races scheduled for this season, including a World Cup event - the Freestyle Aerials - in February 2016 (see below for more details). This event will be hosted for the first time ever in Sierra Nevada, specifically in Pradollano, along with music and entertainment aimed at a young audience. This will be the last trial before the Snowboard and Freestyle World Championships, scheduled for March 2017.
Sierra Nevada has a fantastic new website, which features a mini snow report, offering real-time information on the area: air temperature and weather, amount of runs and lifts open, snow conditions including depth, and length of pistes in km; in addition there are individual temperatures for each of the areas currently open, plus predictions for the following days, in terms of weather and which runs and lifts will be open.
