The scheduled opening of many Pyrenean ski resorts on Saturday next, 1st December, has been postponed due to a lack of snow. Snowfalls a couple of weeks ago have largely been melted during the mild weather these last 10 days. And although reasonable amounts have fallen this week at the highest resorts it is still insufficient to provide safe and enjoyable skiing.
Presently only the Pic du Midi has any skiable snow and the main resorts now hope to open on Thursday, 6th December.
