If you're lucky enough to live not too far from the Pyrenees, you might want to grab a butt at Christmas.
It will suffice to cross the Spanish border.
While the ski lifts will not open before January 7 on the French side, the Catalan ski resorts have just announced that they will open this Monday, December 14.
"We are going to open gradually by limiting the sale of ski passes in order to avoid overcrowding", indicates in a press release the association of Acem resorts, which includes in particular the immense area of Baqueira-Beret.
💥 ¡Inauguramos temporada 2020-2021 el próximo lunes 14 de diciembre!
💥
Junto al resto de estaciones catalanas abriremos puertas con todas las medidas de seguridad Covid19 relevant

In theory, only the inhabitants of Catalonia will be able to inaugurate the season since the autonomous region is closed.
It takes a compelling reason to enter and exit it.
But checks are sporadic, says AFP.
It is therefore a safe bet that French people whose mittens itch will try their luck.
Tailor-made skiing in Europe
In Spain, the government has left the regions to decide whether or not to open stations.
But the question continues to divide Europe in the midst of the second epidemic wave.
France and Germany have sought in vain to impose a common date but have met with the refusal of Austria, which plans to reopen its stations on December 24.
Bulgaria, Mecca of low-cost skiing, has already opened up areas when Andorra gave up with death in the soul, to do the same.
