My advice ... don't do it! Remember it the way you liked it and return again next year. I did the return in April thing and it was an un-mitigated disaster ... most of the places had or were closing down and the atmosphere was positively dull. Don't get me wrong, I love Arinsal to bits and I'm sure I'll be back again, but I fear that they are pricing themselves out both for accomodation and costs of drinks - despite the best snow that I've ever seen at the resort a couple of weeks ago, the numbe…
Pretty sure I know the answer to this, but I'll ask anyway! Does Diego Bell still teach out there? ... I went to Argentina for a couple of years on the bounce to meet him at his home ground, but last I heard he went into forestry back in Argentina, so I doubt the ski instructor thing is still going on for him! Would be delighted to be proved wrong! John
You'll have no problem!!! I did the same sort of thing a couple of years ago - went to La Plagne and dislocated my shoulder on a patch of grass that was in the middle of a piste! Confidence is an issue for me too, but Arinsal slopes are just great!!! Tell her it'll be ok ... John the Alien says so!
I've asked this before, but burried in another thread! If Sean is still there, tell him to get the red carpet out for our arrival on the 21st Feb!!! Thanks
Yeah, particularly fun to watch is the people placed in the skis and snowboard that are nailed to the ceiling, after they've had a few too many ... they go quite green - best to have a bucket too hand!!
Is it for sale? ... if so, how much? Is Sean (the Ski Instructor) still there? If so, someone get word to him please that I'll be there with Steve on 21st Feb ... I don't want him running off to some yuppie resort in France like he did a couple of goes back!!!
My first ever ski trip was to Andorra 6 years ago ... I wore a very fashionable luminous yellow ski suit and I had a had which had dangling eyes on it! I was very popular with fellow ski school team members, as I was a very easy target to re-group on! When I was last there 2 years ago, the old ski suit was pinned up on Bar X as a momento! Really looking foward to seeing the old ski instructors ... assuming they are still there?!
