Hard packed base layer with some fluffy patches. Ok conditions for early season and enough snow to have fun. Get in early, tickets queue is crazy and police are making people use park and ride from out of resort.
At the bottom of Midi Peak of Bigorre, the Mongie-Barèges, you find the Tourmalet field, by many considered to be the best skiing area in the French Pyrenees. As a guest, you can benefit from the resort's 2 entrances - On the west side, Barèges offers you the charm and traditions of a Pyreneen village, while the east side, The Mongie, is practical hosting the bottom station of all the slopes in the resort, and an excellent place to practise all types of skiing.
