Snow report question

If there's any admins watching this, can someone let us know if theres a problem with Andorra at the moment? The snow report hasn't updated since Thursday and other sites seem to be indicating no snow for the week now :( can you confirm??

Hi Claud, one of our data feeds (including the Andorra forecasts, and many of our other Euro locations) is currently stalled. Our provider is looking into it at the moment - hope to update later today. Sorry :(

Ah - Many thanks :-)

Our Snow Forecasts are updating now... it's not looking too clever for next week... :cry:

Already posted elsewhere and I am too duff to provide a link but I posted this today.........

Just returned after a week in Soldeu. Snow is all gunned as they obviously have only had a few cms of real stuff. Very hard under the gunned snow. Also the day time temperatures are getting high, we saw 17 degrees C at resort last Wed and THu mid PM. Don't need hats at night or on the slopes. I skied in a spyder high neck base layer and a soft shell jacket with practically no insulation and was never cold. They are working like heck to keep what terrain they have open by running the guns at night and working like fury but loads of bare patches and ice appear very quickly. Also there are only around 10 runs open in total. Don't believe the crap about 50 %, it's only this when you count parallel runs and the nursery slopes etc. They are restricting ticket sales to all bar UK visitors but the slopes still end up very crowded. Forget carving or any other high speed pursuit. If the ice doesn't get you, you will hit someone. To add to it all there are rocks everywhere. I absolutely destroyed my skis. If you are going there, rent. It doesn't matter that you can't get high performance skis, you wouldn't be able to use them at the moment anyway !!. The people in Pas say it is the same but even busier!!! In all my years skiing I have never seen so many broken arms in resort. If you fall you will hurt yourself.

Sorry if you don't like the truth but this is as it is. Saying that I did enjoy myself as we limited skiing to a couple of the quieter hours a day and maxed out on the great apres scene. I am not some anti Andorra guy either, I have skied there every year for the last 6 as main or secondary holiday and this is the first time it has ever let me down.

If you aren't already depressed enough if you are going there soon, the ski school instructors are saying that they have been told that the resort will close if they don't get real snow soon. There is a water shortage as there has been no rain or snow for months and the cost and time of gunning snow is starting to get prohibitive. On the Andorramania website there is no rain or snow predicted out 10 days. I was booked privately to go there on 28 Jan for 4 days but have now changed this to Italy. If ou are going any time soon I would do the same.

On a brighter note I have been in resort when a storm came through and dropped 140 cm in 28 hours, best skiing I have ever had. So pray for the storm.


Cheers
