Quite lucky but Im not sure what id prefer though I stuggle a bit with visability, my eyes arent the greatest (i dont wear contacts) and my lense wasnt fit for what i needed when it went from blue skies to snow in a few hours.
We just ended up cutting up 1 run over and over whilst it was snowing, through some offpiest between the trees and bit of a workout through a offpiest mogaly section.

Lucky you! have you been to alps as well? if so how does it compare to the pyrenees?

Yeah we have. Pyrenees runs are smaller (length and width) but generally less people. Especially British. More Spanish than the alpes. Runs are good generally, from easy to nice blacks8). There are many little local runs, mostly deserted. The best though I think is in Andorra. About 1 hour from the Pyrenees. Bleedin lovely runs. Always colder, faster and the snow park at la vella is HOOGE! World series spec jumps, rails half pipe etc.

Andorra is a recommended lads holiday for the cheap. If you are interested PM me for an address and general cost of a cheap room literally at the base of the mountains (in the 'city' though) and 2 secs walk from the gondola. If you pace it (we did) you can be out your door and going down your first run in about 10-15 mins.
