Its in the village (well, just opposite the Piolets Park hotel). Sadly, Feb half term is high season, so no bargain rates for that one (has to pay the rent for the rest of the year!). However, end of season (late March-early April) and I might be persuaded..... -
Is Soldeu likely to have snow late season?Originally posted by XLMonkey View Post
One of my most enjoyable skiing holidays yet was in Soldeu - fantastic snow, good runs, good off-piste. Bloody cold though - it was -20 at the top of the mountain one morning, -6 at the bottom and still -1 in Andorra La Vella.Comment

Soldeu has come along way in recent years, they've linked it up with Pasa which almost doubles the ski area, I spent a week at the Nordic (El Tartar) in March 2006 which is a great Hotel with a swimming pool and jacuzzi to relax those tight muscles, the food was only average mind.
The lift pass was almost as much as the 3 Valleys but all things considered I suppose it was still worth it as I didn't have to use a single drag lift, there’s a short black running down to the Nordic (insert Gary Coleman joke here) so you can show off to all the 'noobs' sitting outside.
Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

Its always best at the end of the season - for the last 6 years (which is as long as I've been going), the snow in the first 2 weeks of April has been the best of the season.Originally posted by TheFaQQer View Post
Melts pretty quickly, mind, you need to be on the slopes at 9 if you want to enjoy the powder.Comment

I went there every night for a week (At St Anton?) - didn't see any birds getting bottles of champagne - plenty on the tables dancing though ...Originally posted by milanbenes View Post
Best riding I ever had is a new(ish) resort in Canada called Kicking Horse, absolutely immense. Actually Canadian resorts rate very highly imo - Did a season at Fernie and if you're happy trading nightlife for steep and deep Fernie's your place. Whistler also gets voted world's #1 regularly for a very good reason.
Europe then Val D'Isrere is great, and some of the Austrian resorts cause their snow quality is consistently good, they've got big mountains and they're 100 times nicer than the French ...Hang on - there is actually a place called Cheddar?? - cailin maith

I went there earlier this year, stayed in a catered chalet just up the hill overlooking the Nordic. You can buy gear out there for half the price it retails here. The accommodation was first class.

But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment
