The Grandvalira Resorts stations have received up to 55 centimetres of accumulated new snow in recent days, with which, together with the drop in temperatures conducive to snowmaking, the domains foresee a significant expansion of the available slopes for this weekend. Thus, the Grandvalira Resorts stations expect to offer a total of more than 270 kilometres of skiable terrain starting from Saturday, of which nearly 180 km belong to Grandvalira, which will have more than 115 open slopes, and thicknesses of up to 105 centimetres of powder snow thanks to the 55 cm of new snow that have fallen in recent days.
On their part, Pal Arinsal and Ordino Arcalís, which have received 45 and 50 centimetres of new snow respectively, plan to open 100% of the slopes and lifts starting from Saturday, if weather conditions allow. La Massana station has thicknesses of up to 80 centimetres of powder snow, and the Ordino domain up to 120 cm of powder snow.
The new snowfall in recent days has boosted bookings for the month of March, so Grandvalira Resorts anticipates very good visitor forecasts, both from international and local markets, until the end of the season, set for Sunday, April 7. It is also worth noting that weather forecasts predict more snowfall for the weekend.

Skimo Femení en Pal, Women’s Celebration
The weekend will bring another charitable action to Grandvalira Resorts with the celebration of the 7th edition of Skimo Femení in Pal Arinsal on Sunday, a sports day held as part of International Women's Day with the aim of promoting the practice of snow sports among women and, for the first time, counts towards the Andorra Mountain Ski Cup. Beyond its sporting nature, the event has a festive and playful aspect and, above all, a charitable one, as part of the funds raised are allocated to the AUTEA association, which works for the inclusion of people with autism spectrum disorders.
