Ski Resort Rating: Rate San-Isidro

  Cool from Spain
  

  San Isidro es una estacion pequeña,con unos precios que no paran de subir año tras año...para luego tener las pistas mal pisadas,remontes cerrados,instalaciones sin revisar...creo que la gente se va dando cuenta como año tras año van a peor,yo creo que la gente que mas lo nota son los pueblos mas cercanos que ya tienen la mitad de todos sus casas rurales vacías(normal con esos precios)..

  San Isidro es una estacion pequeñita, para usuarios de los alrededores,muchos asturianos que les queda a tan solo 60Km, aunque tambien hay portugueses y gallegos por su proximidad;esta proxima a otra estacion la asturiana "Fuentes de Invierno" y la mayoria de los esquiadores demandan su union, pues solo con poner un remonte seria posible unirlas.

  Tenemos la mala suerte de tener una estación con una mala dirección y una mala gestión. La mayoria de los trabajadores son personas de gran valia, amantes del esqui y buenos profesionales,pero hay otros que dejan mucho que desear ,si marchase toda la nieve estarian encantados. Remontes parados por falta de personal,pistas mal pisadas,remontes arcaicos etc, etc.
  Como no cambie esto habra que cambiar de estación.

  Esta estación, tiene la mala costumbre de indicar en su página web, que todos sus remontes están operativos, circunstancia que no necesariamente cumplen en la realidad.

  San-Isidro is the best snow resort nearest to Portugal.
  In the San Isidro snow resort site they have a lot of alternatives to sleep over. Many of them are cheap with excellent quality.
  The resort is amazing. Good slopes, excellent snowboarding conditions and the snow is almost guaranteed.

  This is a 5 star resort and it’s a great place to spend a weekend. The people over there are fantastic.

  This is, no doubt, my favorite snow resort where I can go during a weekend without having too much trouble in planning the trip.

  The last time I was in San-Isidro was during a 3 day long weekend. Me and my friends spent only 115 euros, all included.
  (5 out of 5).

  San-Isidro is packed with beginners during the weekends but it is actually a better resort for intermediate-advanced skiers or boarders.
  It gets too crowded at the weekends with long queues at the bases.
  Never had a good snow park and that's a pity.
  The past seasons had mostly the same structure; climate change to blame? Problems included a late start, with no or very few snow falls during December and January. Some big snowfalls even late in the season (April) but usually the northern winds rapidly change to milder, western ones and that brings rain up to 1850m right away. Thus, if you want good snow you have to be there just in time because it does not last long (we are in Atlantic Spain and not at a very high altitude...)
  The same mountain hosts Fuentes de Invierno, a neighbouring resort that you can actually access with a little bit of cruising and rowing off the slopes to the east of San-Isidro. Stupidity is abundant in my region though, and the two resorts, due to political or bureaucratic reasons are not linked - which would make this mountain a much better ski destination... it's really a shame.
  This season has started early and by early Dec 08 there's a good snow pack. But rains are coming back for the next few days...
  By the way the capital of the region, León, 1h 30min driving from San-Isidro, hosts amazing nightlife and historical heritage. Really worth the small road trip down the valleys.
  Cheers,

  Excellent place to learn. Better to wait until the big snows (end of January).
  Has got cheap forfait. Cheap places to stay.
  The only problem is on the weekends with lot's of people, but even so it's a very good resort.

  I went to San Isidro last weekend and I liked what I found there.

  Maybe I got luck because there were huge snowdepths and the only negative point about the snow conditions was that there are only three grooming vehicles to cover the 23 kms of marked slopes, and because of the heavy snowfall during the night, there was not enough time to groom everything.

  Apart of that, the staff is highly organized and the price of the ski-pass is reasonably fair.

  There were plenty of skiers this weekend, and I've never waited more than 2 minutes in the queue for the main lift. On all the oter lifts there was no queue at all, except for the button lifts on the green runs, which are only two.

  This makes this station not advisable for begginers, but great for intermediate skiers.

  The advanced skiers can always enjoy the black powder runs, which are a few.

  I didn't like the huge amount of schools that were training the little kids all over the red runs, which made me have to slow down some times.

  About the rentals, there are lots of shops covering pretty evey single ski and snowboard brand, and relatively low prices (you can rent the whole ski equipment for 12 EUR).

  The final veredict would then be positive, considering this one of the best stations on the Northwest/Northern Spain

  Save your money for better stations.
  With the money you spend here on a weekend you can stay almost an entire week on a station in Andorra.
  Too small and with poor lift capacity to acomodate everyone on weekends or holidays.
