  • I’ve just got back from a lovely morning skiing in Pal, first thing this morning the runs where hard packed and a little icy in places. Within a few hours the runs had softened to spring conditions and they were a lot of fun, especially under the bright blue sky and sunshine :)

    Over the next few days the temperatures are forecast to drop and a sprinkling of a few centimetres is due to fall over the next coming week. The first snow is due tomorrow, perhaps time to pack an extra layer just in case!!
  • Was I on the first lift this morning??? Yes I was!!! I didn't see anyone for the first 2 runs at all.....amazing!

    The pistes were groomed and crisp first thing and as the morning sun warmed up so did the slopes a little to soften them, I really enjoyed it then. Skiing the empty slopes with just a T-shirt and hoody on in the beautiful weather was lovely. Lasted until hungry time then had outdoor terrace lunch with a glass of white wine :wacko:

    Really nice spring day topped off with a red face and strap marks 8)
  • Spring has most definitely arrived, first thing in the morning it’s still a little fresh but by mid day the layers are off, personally i’ve started skiing in just a t-shirt and my jacket. If you have a backpack it’s definitely a good idea to carry extra layers the temperatures can change very quickly and being on the mountain freezing cold is not pleasant!!

    My favourite time is first thing in the morning... the slopes are empty and with beautiful corduroy lines, I love being the first person to put the first shape down the slope. By lunchtime the slopes have warmed, in high traffic areas it can be a little chopped up, creating perfect trick landing terrain. :)
  • It soon will be April and we still have great conditions :)

    The slopes are quiet now and we are totally enjoying having the whole mountain to enjoy. In the mornings the mountain is pisted beautifully with crisp flat pistes perfect for flying around on. After a morning coffee stop or actually nearer lunch time the slopes are warmed a little and are nice and soft. The lower areas where the beginers tend spend most time get a little chopped up a wet, perfect for hitting the kickers made around the snow cannons :thumbsup:

    The weather has been a mix of everything this week, sun, cloud, rain but generally when it's been warm the snow feels a little wet. I quite like it like that cos its nice and soft, though I do think i'll be getting my board waxed this week :tongue:

    We are going to be here until easter so anyone thinking of a late ski break, even if just a couple of days come and join us on the mountain there is plenty of room for all :thumbsup:
  • Today was AWESOME.... probably one of favourite days on the mountain :) :) :)

    Over the past few days it hasn’t stopped snowing over 25cm has fallen on the mountain. Today we woke to clear blue sky, sunshine and powder!! My favourite run was coming down from The Capa, unfortunately the button lift isn’t open at the moment, but like so many others we traversed across, so so much fun, definitely Arinsal in PERRRFFFEEECCCTTTIIOONNN!! :P

    Check out my photos.... here’s the link.

  • It's raining in the village but dumping down on the slopes!! It changes to snow around half way up the gondola - this was around 9.00 this evening, so the only run that will be affected is the run back to the Crest, everything else will be awesome in the morning :thumbsup:
  • It’s like riding a bike.... hehe. I’m sure you'll find your ski legs quickly and the ski school here is amazing, it’s been referred to as one of the best in Europe and I personally 100% agree.... you’re going to have a fab time :)
