Heavy Snow in Baqueira Beret

Heavy snow is finally falling in Spain, the ski nation which has probably suffered the most from Europe's warm 06/07 winter. Whilst the Alps started to receive increasingly heavy snowfalls soon after Christmas and even peripheral ski areas, such as the island of Cyprus in the southern Mediterranean close to Israel and Lebanon reported 20 inch snow depths by the end of February, most ski areas in Spain had had little or no natural snowfall until now. As of last week some ski areas had still not opened for the season.
