It’s
the Start of the Sierra Nevada Ski Season
 |
The season has started and looks like Rosie can
not wait to hit the slopes
|
The season was brought forward a little because the first
snowfall came a little earlier than usual too and it marks the beginning of
winter. The ski season in Sierra Nevada can typically last all the way to late
April.
Sierra Nevada is renowned for being the most southern and
sunny European ski resort and things are going to be even bigger and better
this year thanks to the introduction of twice weekly flights between London
Gatwick and Granada.
The resort has 100km of track featuring different difficulty
levels, incredible views, and it’s close to the heart of Granada which makes it
a perennial favourite for locals and hardcore snow boarders and skiers.
Even though Sierra Nevada has begun taking a backseat to the
more central ski resorts lately it’s still gaining a reputation for offering
skiers something different. There is also a après ski scene in the resort
featuring the best stereotypes of Spain including fine food, wine, and fun for
all involved.
The upcoming ski season brings with it some incredible ski
lifts and an area dedicated to family initiation that are designed to make it
more enjoyable and accessible to bring your whole family out to the slopes.
There have been a number of benefits made to the Sierra
Nevada ski resort in recent years, including hosting large sporting events like the Freestyle Ski and
Snowboard World Cup Super Finals. A lot of attention is being paid to the
Sulayr Terrain Park of the resort, featuring the largest permanent half-pipe in
all of Spain which will test the hearts of 550 of the greatest skiers and
snowboarders in the world.
Don’t worry if you’re looking for something that’s not so
dramatic. There is a wide range of slopes for all ages and abilities in the
resort. You’ll always be welcome in the pre- and après ski scene.
What more do you need to convince you to slap on the snow
tyres and head north to the premier ski resort in Spain? It’s guaranteed to
spice up even the coldest winter weekend.
