Snow report Pyrenees Orientales, 12/29/2016
Little snow but great weather in the Pyrenees - artificial snow report.
Pyrenees Orientales
Snow condition
Snow quality
Overall impression
Snow condition
In contrast to previous years, the following now seems to apply: The further south, the more snow. There is nothing at all in the usual snow holes of Formigueres and Puyvalador, up to 2400. Skiing is only possible thanks to artificial snow and only to a limited extent. However, the mountains on the border with Spain look pretty good and Puigmal (2900 m) is said to be the best ski touring option at the moment.
Snow quality
Artificial snow and wind-pressed old snow. Quite slushy at midday thanks to double-digit plus temperatures, frost at night.
Risks
No snow - no avalanches
Overall impression
Extremely little snow, skiing in the Capcir is only possible on artificial snow bands. It's impossible to think about sensible ski touring or off-piste skiing here without wearing skis. We'll check out the situation in Spain tomorrow, where there seems to be more snow.
