Spent last week at Arinsal - absolutely marvelous. Friendly natives, perfect snow, no wind and beautiful blue cloudless skies. Arinsal is the perfect resort for beginners/intermediates but there are more challenging red and black runs if you want them. You can also ski back to top end of town (blue run) which is handy if you are staying in the Patogonia or Crest Hotel. Lift pass covers huge area including Arcalis. It would be difficult to get to know the area in a week. I concentrated on Pal and Arinsal itself. I will return.
