Arinsal Andorra

Coming out on the 13th of Jan. The slope conditions say slush. That doesn't sound good, what is the skiing in Arinsal like at the moment?
How busy is it on the lift's, much of queue? My wife and I are both booked into intermediate lessons but are wary that they all will be flying down blacks. We did five days in Austria last year and managed to just get the hang of parallel's (almost) although I am sure I have forgotten it all and will crash into a lift post or fall off a cliff!!

ON Wednesday the snow was firm in the morning became very good about lunch time and slushy late afternoon. Today it was firm in the morning and good at lunch time and softened in the afternoon. The conditions change from day to day. Let us hope for some cold weather or even some new snow.
It sounds like you are both intermediates level 1 or 2. It will depends on how you perform on the first Monday.
We do not many queues in Arinsal in January, except on Mondays between 4 and 5 pm. This is for the gondola down to the vilage. (See number one's blog of 17 Dec.) Pray to the snow fairy and have a great time in Arinsal.Chicken Man wrote:

Further to my last reply: your prayers to the snow fairy worked. At 8 pm Friday it was pouring rain. By 8-15 It was dumping snow. We had a great Saturday morning in fresh snow. As I said before things can change from day to day.number one wrote:
