My tip

Even if you find your hands geting warm, dont ski without gloves, snow is quiet abrasive if you fall.

Apparently a lotta of stains occur when people try to fight the fall, so if u are falling just fall and dont resist it

Long transfer to Andorra, bring a neck cushion, try to sit in the middle of coach, less chance of being travel sick

In Arinsal u get a gondala from village to ski area, its a good idea to rent a lockable ski locker (tour operators do em) at the top of gondola. :Leave your ski up there, if memory serves me correctly you can leave your boots in the boot room up there, The rep on your bus from airport may have info on this, less carrying skis, boots

Q for gondala can be long 1st thing in AM,
Theres a free ski bus to bring skiers from hotels to Gondala, if it busy dont get off at Gondala stop, the bus will continue on approx 500m to princessa Park hotel, theres an old wooden 2 man char lift which is seldom used and no q's. It is exposed so wrap up.

Lunch best in village , use Gondala to get to village for lunch

Finally, ski in Pal, linked by lift, beautiful

Edit

Finally, ski in Pal, linked by lift, beautiful

Finally, ski in Pal for a day, linked by lift, beautiful, your ski lesson gen run for five days, so day six try Pal.

ring tourist in Andorra : andoramania.com, get em to post a piste map and general map of Arinsal

Thanks for all the useful tips, especially the one about not taking your gloves off - I hadn't thought of that.

However, I get awfully travel sick, and if I ever have to go in a coach/minibus/car I always sit right at the front. I find the worst place to sit is at the back (I guess that's why the kids try to sit at the back in a roller coaster!).
