Pal Arinsal is the perfect ski resort for beginners or intermediates. It is well structured as beginners use different slopes than intermediates.
The skiing instructors are very nice and helpful.
In case you don't catch on they keep repeating the instructions over and over again.
Arinsal is a good spot to have fun because there are plenty of pubs, restaurants and even 2 or 3 nightclubs.
Apart from that there is the true beauty of that area.
The mountains, the wilderness, the blue sky...
And the best thing is -of course- the snow!
The best time to go is February/March as there is nearly always snow.
I was there in the middle of March and it was so hot in the mountains. I skiied in tanktop and got a nice tan.
2 days later the weather changed and we got plenty of fresh snow and teperatures dropped suddenly and I was happy I ...

Advantages: Ski School,Value for money Disadvantages: small ski area, mountain restaurants
After a very long transfer from Tolouse which goes past Pas de la Casa and Soldue you arrive an quite a nice little resort of Arinsal. Accomodation is varied from cheap apartments to De luxe Hotels. A high number of bars/restaurants reflect a lively nightlife.
Getting up to the skiing is by a cable car from the centre of Arinsal which tends to get very busy at peak times at top and bottom, for those staying at the top end of the village there is the advantage of a two man chair right up to the base station and snow conditions permiting a choice of a blue or black run right back down to the Hotel Crest and Patagonia Apartments which never seems to get busy.So the skiing, well arinsal's stretches right up the mountain with a series of easy blues and reds coming back down to the cota area,so no chance of getting lost, ideal ...

- BLUE VELVET -
Blue Velvet was released in 1986. Written and directed by David Lynch (Eraserhead). Blue Velvet is an American neo-noir, mystery/thriller. Starring Isabella Rossellini, Dennis Hopper, Kyle MacLachlan, and Laura Dern. BBFC Rating: 18. Running Time: 120 minutes.-
The film opens to a large pair of crushed blue velvet stage curtains gently moving in the breeze. As the credits roll we are treated to a very serene rendition of the song 'Blue Velvet', sung by 60's singer Bobby Vinton. The cameras close in onto a stunningly clean, pure white painted picket fence. In front of that some very long stem red roses are swaying in time to the music. Everything is going in slow motion, lazy hazy kind of feel. Kids are skipping across along the street, without a care in the world, and a woman is sitting in front of her TV ...
