I am lucky enough to live in Andorra and enjoy the slopes at Arinsal every day. It's a great place to ski or board but suffers seriously in a few areas. Unlike France, all on-piste restaurants are run by the same company who don't seem bothered about offering terrible service and awful food. Year upon year it doesn't improve. At lunch time you have to queue for 20mins to order, pay and get a receipt and then, to add insult to injury, you have to queue again to give it to the guy who cooks it when they stand 2 meters away from each other behind the counter. Do not consume anything more than a hot chocolate on-piste would be my advise. Hopefully one day they'll get the message. The other area of annoyance lays with the fact that they close the pistes at Arinsal after more than a few inches of snow. Yesteday we had 7 inches and they closed the one lift that was open after 45 mins and another after 3 hours. You come to a ski resort to enjoy the snow not be held back from it. I seem to remember French resorts only opening late after more than a couple of feet.

Enjoy your future skiing holidays and choose your resort carefully. Sometimes it's worth paying a little more for a better service.
