    • The Big Snow Festival - March 14th-21st

      In case you've not already heard, The Big Snow Festival is coming to Arinsal from March 14th-21st bringing loads of huge names in music and a massive party atmosphere!

      You can book package holidays from the organisers, or if you want to 'build your own holiday' then I've just added a suggestion to our 'The Big Snow Festival' page on the 'Resort' menu where you can get flights, transfers, accommodation and a wristband for just £375 per person based on 4 sharing!

      I'm really looking forward to it!

      Steve :thumbsup:
    • SNOW CONDITIONS IN MARCH?

      Just wondered what the snow was like generally in March? We're thinking of coming around March 13th? Are conditions usually still good around then or is it getting a bit dodgy??!! Usually go to America so have little knowlegde of Europe!!w
    • Only 43 days to go until The Big Snow Festival! Hundreds of tickets have been sold so it's looking like it's going to be a fantastic week! There's still plenty of accommodation available for the week, with apartments from €385 for 4 people available through Arinsal.co.uk!

      Hi Steve,

      We are due to get to Arinsal on 7 March, we are only out for a week and sadly depart the same day as the snow festival begins! Can you tell me if there will be much going on the week we are there or if the snowboarding will be interupted due to your preparations for the festival.

      We are a group of 12 looking to have a fantastic time on and off the piste!

      Cheers. :thumbsup:
    • Hi Jacqui

      The week before is just a regular week with normal apres activities such as quiz nights, a pub crawl, sledging, the new Decades night, a beach party, karaoke nights etc etc. The mountain won't be affected by the preparations, and even the week of the festival the mountain will be open as usuall except for some times in the freestyle park for competitions.
    • So the very first Big Snow Festival is over, the partygoers have gone home, and everyone can now relax and recover from an excellent week!

      All in all the week has to be seen as a great success - around 700 people came for the festival and it went without a hitch. I think the highlight of the week was the party on the mountain on Thursday evening with Pendulum headlining it. They had projections directly on to the mountain, a torchlight descent by Arinsal's ski and snowboard instructors, plus the piste bashers turned out to flash their lights too!

      Throughout the week there were DJs playing at Panoramix bar on the mountain during the afternoon, followed by activities in several bars during apres ski such as quizes, a hat party, and of course a St Patricks day party, then the main events were in Surf and El Cau. With special sound and lighting equipment brought out from the UK, the venues were fit for the festival and coped really well considering it was the first of its kind in the village.

      Looking forward, there's already talk of doing it again next year, so watch this space to see what's happening!
