Geoff writes: A near perfect day skiing today, at Masella. Cloudless blue sky, very warm in the sun, but excellent snow (though lower down it started to get a little slushy later on); and on the higher slopes, where we spent most of the day, it was very uncrowded indeed. There were a lot of beginners at Masella, but they were much lower down.

Our ski pass season ticket is for La Molina, but we get various free day passes for other resorts (hence the trip to Andorra last week), so it was nice to be able to go back to Masella and ski runs which haven’t been open in the past couple of years because of the lack of snow – all pistes are open this year.

And because we have a season ticket, and can go a lot, the skiing works out very cheap. The season ticket was 230 euros, by the end of the season we’ll have been at least 20 times, so it’s only a little over 10 euros a day – whereas a day pass is 38 euros, so we make a huge saving.
