06/02/2026 – Miracle work in action….

After the super-storm of the 4th, and what some may consider as irreparable damage to the resort, Sierra Nevada’s expert piste workers are busy working their magic with the restoration of the lower section of the Rio Piste that was washed away.

IMPORTANT: Temperatures have dropped, the water is freezing up and it is snowing (not raining) beautifully! Significant snowfall is expected during Saturday with further intermittent snowfall from Sunday to Tuesday to top up the affected areas.

Already, there were around 16km of slopes open on Saturday 7th at the outset of the day, whilst work will continue tirelessly with further reparations/draining of the pistes, re-grooming and marking of the slopes, relocation of cables that have dropped from the runners of certain lifts, de-icing of lifts, pulleys and cables etc..

The forecast is showing a clear levelling on intensity with wind speeds dropping significantly from Sunday onwards thereby giving a much more positive outlook on the coming days for enjoying the slopes and especially anyone concerned for the half term week of the 16th onwards!!

Our word to you is: Don’t give up hope, things are really not as bad as they may appear from social media posts – they are dramatic (and quite true), but not in any way hopeless!! You will be surprised at how quickly Sierra Nevada’s piste management committee are able to return things to what they were!
