ANY SNOW DUE.?

I was asked this question by a visitor five days after the resort had been closed because of avalanche risk. There is about two metres of snow at the top of the mountain and I was unable to use the ski rack outside the café, as it was almost buried by snow. Yet we have people wanting more. We have had injuries at night, due to people slipping on the snow in the village. Some did not fall because they were drunk, but if they had been more sober they may have prevented themselves from falling.

We have had complaints from parents that their class is too slow for their child and some young British children are skiing without crash helmets, although it is illegal for Andorran children to do so. Some parents do have the wrong priorities.

ALEX and MICHELLE are delighted to be in the top class with MARCUS, (Arinsal’s Tony Blair). VICKY is happy travelling at a more leisurely pace with KEVIN. In fact, they have been so tired after the skiing they have had a couple of early nights. .Something the girls are not used to.

We had St Valentine’s day last week. Regular readers may have seen that STUART (BBA) is having a price war with Wetherspoons. .when I pointed out that they were offering two steak dinners and a bottle of wine for £14-99, he immediately responded by offering two pints of Stella, a packet of cheese and onion crisps AND a Snickers bar for 7 euros on Valentine’s day.

The snow is great and there will be a lot less people here next week, so we are all looking forward to some superb skiing..
