10 December - first major snow fall of the season in the Pyrenees. A blanket of snow has fallen over the Pyrenees range in the last 48 hours swept in from the Atlantic by high winds and a deep depression. Snow is reported as low as 800 metres in some places with a 35 - 55 cm cover on the main 'skiing altitudes' - 1300 - 2600 metres.
The ski resorts of the E Pyrenees and Andorra which are already open are now progressively opening all their pistes and lifts. The western resorts are moving toward a grand opening on the 15/16th December.
The forecast for the next few days is for colder, calmer weather with snow falls giving way to very cold, sunny anticyclonic conditions.
