Nota Informativa

Fotos Sierra Nevada 21-04-2024

Sierra Nevada faces the last week of the winter season with 19 skiable kilometres concentrated in the Veleta and Borreguiles areas with the usual winter timetable (8.30am to 4.45pm). The snow, with thicknesses in the open areas ranging from 20 to 90 centimetres, is of spring quality. Until Sunday 28 April, the last day of the 2023/24 season, five ski lifts will be open (Al Ándalus gondola lift, Emile Allais and Veleta chairlifts, Dauro II carpet and Zayas chairlift) which will provide access to this ski offer, the only one of its kind in Southern Europe. The resort will also keep facilities open for non-skiers in Pradollano (Mirlo sledge) and Borreguiles (snow slides). Likewise, Sierra Nevada will offer very special prices on ski passes and access to the underground car park for this last week. On the other hand, the resort closed the season's sports calendar this weekend with the celebration of the Asogaf charity trophy (moguls) and the Fernando Rivera Memorial, in ski mountaineering. In addition, the riders of the national team continue in this last week with their post-season concentration with morning training sessions on the Cordón slope, in the Veleta area.

Sierra Nevada faces the first weekend of April with all the areas open

Sierra Nevada faces the first weekend of April with more than 90 skiable kilometres, with slopes in all areas of the resort, the entire operating vertical drop (1,200 metres), up to two and a half metres thick, and an extensive sports and music programme in what is one of the busiest and liveliest moments of the 2023/24 winter season.  After last weekend's snowfalls and strong winds, the resort's technical services have recovered the offer prior to the passage of the Nelson squall, which, in addition to bringing between 50 and 80 centimetres of new snow, hit some of the resort's ski lifts hard, generating blocks of ice on pulleys and rockers, and unhooking the cable of chairlifts such as Stadium, Monachil or Virgen de las Nieves.  All in all, the resort faces the spring season with great snow conditions. The Laguna and Borreguiles areas accumulate up to two and a half metres of powder snow, the same quality as in the Veleta area with almost two metres of snow on some pistes. The other three sectors of the resort, Loma Dílar, Río and Cauchiles-Parador accumulated between 75 and 130 centimetres of spring snow.

Intense sporting and musical agenda
As for the rest, the sporting and musical agenda this weekend is one of the most intense of the winter season.
The Sun and Snow festival kicks off this Friday with its fifth edition, the most ambitious electronic music event held at the highest altitude in southern Europe, with four stages distributed from Pradollano to Borreguiles, where - until Sunday - 36 musical sessions will take place.
The sports agenda includes five major events. The most popular will be the Ultra Sierra Nevada with more than 1,500 mountain runners registered in its four distances: Ultra, Trail, Marathon and Half Marathon. The main event, the 100 km Ultra, starts this Friday (22.00h) in Granada; the first runners will arrive at Pradollano, after reaching an altitude of 3,000 metres, at midday on Saturday.
Another of the big events will be the National Veterans Trophy, which will attract the best Spanish skiers in the Masters category to Sierra Nevada. This edition will be dedicated to the late former president of the FADI, Juan Luis Hernández, who was one of the driving forces behind this competition.
On the other hand, one of the best Spanish skiers of all time, Carolina Ruiz, will be at the head of theAudio Quattro Cup-Carolina Ruiz Challenge, considered one of the most important ski competitions for children on the national scene. 
The Andalusian University Alpine Skiing Championship and theTrofeo Ruralito - Copa Andalucía de Esquí Alpino complete the sports agenda for the first weekend of April.

Sierra Nevada expands new snowpark for spring

The new snow situation in Sierra Nevada has allowed since this weekend the extension of the snowpark to four lines of modules and jumps (and a fifth under construction) on both sides of the Loma de Dílar chairlift, with which the freestyle offer experiences a significant growth for the spring season in the winter resort of Granada.
This is the implementation of the new snowpark project designed at the beginning of the season in collaboration with the Andalusian Winter Sports Federation and which has finally been carried out now thanks to the snowfall recorded in Sierra Nevada just over a week ago.
The construction of the snowpark, which will be finished in the first days of this week with new modules, has followed criteria of evolution by levels, from beginners to experts. Its location on the side of the Loma de Dílar chairlift allows for a high frequency of descents on the different lines.

Sierra Nevada goes (almost) to 100

The ski and mountain resort of Sierra Nevada has reached today, with 97 kilometres (118 slopes), the largest skiable surface since the 2019/20 season thanks to the accumulations of snow registered during the past weekend, with up to 2 metres in areas such as Borreguiles.
The opening of almost all the slopes in the Laguna area and a good part of the runs in the Parador-Cauchiles area has allowed Sierra Nevada to reach the last third of the season in the best moment of the 23/24 winter season.
The resort is also recovering some of the facilities affected by the storm, such as the snowpark, which from this weekend will have around 30 modules on both sides of the Loma de Dílar chairlift, as well as a platform in the big jumps sector, which will be used for the Spanish Slopestyle Championships on the weekend of 23 and 24 March.
Meanwhile, this weekend the resort will host four official sporting competitions: the Reyes Santa Olalla and Nazarí bumps trophies, as well as the White Camp and Club Monachil alpine skiing trophies, both of which count towards the Jesús Serra inclusive trophy.
Sierra Nevada also brings back the music sessions in Borreguiles with the performance of the DJs Julián Movilla and Rober Peinado this Friday 15th March on the Chill Out terrace.
Also, the activities for non-skiers in the Borreguiles area are back and the Mirlo blanco activities are still open in Pradollano with its toboggans, sledges, ice rink and Mirlo sledge.
The weather forecast for the next few days predicts predominantly clear skies, no significant winds and slightly rising temperatures.

FIS praises Sierra Nevada SBX World Cup

The International Ski Federation (FIS) has praised the organisation of the Sierra Nevada Snowboard Cross World Cup double World Cup this weekend, with the best SBX riders on the planet, in which the Granadan winter resort has shown its versatility to adapt to the circumstances arising from a very changeable weather.
                  The FIS Chief Director of Snowboard Cross Racing, Uwe Beier, underlined that "the World Cup in Sierra Nevada has been one of the highlights of our World Cup calendar in recent years". Sierra Nevada has hosted five SBX World Cups in 2020, 2023 and 2024. 
"Once again this year, despite the difficult snow conditions, they managed to fully commit and deliver two great World Cup competitions," said Beier, before continuing the discipline's world circuit this weekend in Cortina d'Ampezzo.
According to the FIS head of snowboard cross, "the level is really good and we would love to keep Sierra Nevada on the World Cup calendar in the coming years". For this reason, he hopes that the FIS will receive "confirmation of the application for the 2024/2025 calendar soon so that we can confirm it at the FIS spring meetings".
For his part, the CEO of Cetursa Sierra Nevada, Jesús Ibáñez, thanked the national and Andalusian federations, volunteers, the army, businessmen and sponsors, "especially Turismo Andaluz and the Consejería de Fomento", for their "work and involvement" in bringing off an event which, despite the difficulties in building the circuit, has been "a complete success".
"The resort and the organisation have adapted to the weather and snow conditions at all times, creating a great sporting spectacle at the highest level, which has not only been compatible with tourist skiing, but has also been an incentive," added Ibáñez, who, as has happened in the last World Cups, hopes for the involvement of public and private sponsorships to continue on the world snowboard cross circuit.
The Sierra Nevada SBX competition, sponsored by the Andalusian Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport with co-financing from the European Union, and organised by Cetursa Sierra Nevada and the Andalusian and Spanish winter sports federations, was the seventh event in this season's Snowboard Cross World Cup calendar, and after the World Cups on 2 and 3 March in Sierra Nevada, three more events remain to decide which riders will win the discipline's crystal globe.

Sierra Nevada hosts this weekend the most important winter sports competition of the season in Spain with the celebration of two events of the Snowboard Cross World Cup in which a hundred of the best world riders of the discipline will participate, among them the members of the Spanish team with the rider from San Sebastian Lucas Eguibar at the head.
The two rounds of the Sierra Nevada SBX World Cup were presented today in the Alhambra. After the official photo of the participating teams in the Jardines del Partal, the Director General of Sports Systems and Values of the Junta de Andalucía, María de Nova, stressed that "Andalusia is once again hosting major sporting events which, as well as promoting sport, serve as an important tourist and cultural attraction. 
"That is why it is so important that Andalusia is hosting this Snowboard Cross World Cup, we have that privilege, and it will also take place in a wonderful environment such as Sierra Nevada, which is undoubtedly a plus for the competition and for the athletes who visit us," she stressed.

The competition, sponsored by the Consejería de Turismo, Cultura y Deporte de la Junta de Andalucía with co-financing from the European Union, is held just after the World Snowboard Championships in Bakuriani (Georgia) and before the last two races (in Veysonnaz, Switzerland; and Mr. St. Ann, Canada) that will close the annual SBX World Cup circuit.
The CEO of Cetursa Sierra Nevada, Jesús Ibáñez, has highlighted the "enormous effort" of the team of constructors of Sierra Nevada to configure, "not always with favourable weather", a circuit "of great attraction" for the riders, the public and the televisions. 
"Of the 10 competitions in the world, two are held here in SN. We have been working on this for a long time, we want to thank the role of Spainsnow and the Andalusian Winter Sports Federation (FADI) for wanting to take on this project together with us. We want people to enjoy themselves, the people of Granada and Andalusia to be able to go up and see this world spectacle," said Ibáñez.
The Loma de Dílar SBX circuit consists of six banked corners, four jumps and seven bumpy areas (dubbies). In Spain, Teledeporte, Eurosport and Andalucía Televisión will broadcast the Sierra Nevada World Cup, while 20 television channels will distribute the signal in European, Asian and American countries.
The president of the Royal Spanish Winter Sports Federation (RFEDI), May Peus, recalled that holding top-level events in Spain "is included in our Strategic Plan. We started to believe it in 2017 after the snowboard and freeski World Cup, in which we had some fantastic results together with the bronze medal of Regino Hernández at the Winter Olympics in PyeongChang. Thanks to the Movistar Cup we have riders like Álvaro -Romero- who is still a junior and has medals in events of this style (juniors) and who has just had a great World Cup. We have Spanish heroes who are the rivals to beat in this World Cup in Sierra Nevada.
In this sense, the president of the Andalusian federation, Carlos Santandreu, has underlined the possibilities of sporting evolution of Andalusian riders thanks to Sierra Nevada's commitment to snowboard cross; so much so that local riders like Candela Fuentes and Lorenzo Jiménez, who this year have participated in the European Cup SBX, are already in the orbit of the national team.
FIS snowboard coordinator Uwe Beier thanked "everyone involved from Sierra Nevada to the federations for organising the two World Cups. It's an important event for us, we want to grow our sport and venues like Sierra Nevada bring us closer to the goal of making it more popular. We have a long circuit with a lot of snow and I'm sure we will enjoy it".
The young rider of RFEDI, Alvaro Romero, representing the Spanish national team, has known today the circuit of the Loma de Dílar and his impression could not be better: "it looks very good, it is a long circuit, big and well done curves, a lot of work when making this circuit. It looks very good and we are very happy". "A very nice race because I was going with high expectations, to give my best level. It went very well, I fought a lot, with the best and I saw myself capable of being with them so I'm very happy to leave Georgia and it's the best thing that could happen to me to come here with the greatest motivation for the Sierra Nevada World Cup."

Sierra Nevada alberga este fin de semana la competición de deportes de invierno más importante de la temporada en España con la celebración de dos pruebas de la Copa del Mundo de Snowboard Cross en la que participarán un centenar de los mejores riders mundiales de la disciplina, entre ellos los integrantes del equipo español con el rider donostiarra Lucas Eguibar al frente.
Las dos pruebas de la Copa del Mundo SBX de Sierra Nevada han sido presentadas hoy en la Alhambra. Tras la foto oficial de los equipos participantes en los Jardines del Partal, la directora general de Sistemas y Valores del Deporte de la Junta de Andalucía, María de Nova, ha subrayado que “Andalucía vuelve a situarse como sede de grandes eventos deportivos que, además de promocionar la práctica deportiva, sirven de importante polo atracción turístico y cultural. 
“Por eso es tan importante que Andalucía sea la sede de esta Copa del Mundo de Snowboard Cross, tenemos ese privilegio, y además se va a desarrollar en un entorno maravilloso como es Sierra Nevada, lo que sin duda es un plus para la competición y para los deportistas que nos visiten”, ha subrayado.

La competición, con el patrocinio de la Consejería de Turismo, Cultura y Deporte de la Junta de Andalucía con la cofinanciación de la Unión Europea, se celebra justo después del Campeonato del Mundo de Snowboard en Bakuriani (Georgia) y antes de las dos últimas carreras (en Veysonnaz, Suiza; y Mr. St. Ann, Canadá) que cerrarán el circuito anual de la Copa del Mundo SBX.
El consejero delegado de Cetursa Sierra Nevada, Jesús Ibáñez, ha destacado el “enorme esfuerzo” del equipo de constructores de Sierra Nevada para configurar, “no siempre con meteorología favorable”, un circuito “de gran atractivo” para los corredores, el público y las televisiones. 
“De las 10 competiciones que hay en el mundo, dos se hacen aquí en SN. Llevamos mucho tiempo trabajando en esto, queremos agradecer el papel de Spainsnow y de la Federación Andaluza de Deportes de Invierno (FADI) por querer asumir este proyecto junto con nosotros. Buscamos que la gente pueda disfrutar, que los granadinos y los andaluces puedan subir a ver este espectáculo mundial”, ha señalado Ibáñez.
El circuito SBX de la Loma de Dílar se compone de seis curvas peraltadas, cuatro saltos y siete zonas bacheadas (dubbies). En territorio nacional, Teledeporte, Eurosport y Andalucía Televisión ofrecerán la Copa del Mundo de Sierra Nevada, mientras que 20 cadenas de televisión distribuirán la señal en países europeos, asiáticos y americanos.

El presidente de la Real Federación Española de Deportes de Invierno (RFEDI), May Peus,ha recordado que  la celebración de pruebas de alto nivel en España “está plasmado en nuestro Plan Estratégico. Nos lo empezamos a creer en 2017 a raíz del mundial de snowboard y freeski en el que tuvimos unos fantásticos resultados junto con el bronce de Regino Hernández en los JJOO de Invierno de PyeongChang. Gracias a la Copa Movistar tenemos a riders como Álvaro -Romero- que es junior aún y que tiene medallas en eventos de este estilo (juniors) y que viene de hacer un gran Mundial. Tenemos héroes españoles que son los rivales a batir en esta Copa del Mundo de Sierra Nevada.
En ese sentido, el presidente de la federación andaluz, Carlos Santandreu, ha subrayado las posibilidades de evolución deportiva de los riders andaluces gracias a la apuesta de Sierra Nevada por el snowboard cross; tanto es así que corredores locales como Candela Fuentes y Lorenzo Jiménez, que este año han participan en Copa de Europa SBX ya están en la órbita del equipo nacional.
El coordinador de snowboard de la FIS, Uwe Beier, ha agradecido” a todo el mundo involucrado desde Sierra Nevada a las federaciones por la organización de las dos copas del mundo. Es un evento importante para nosotros, queremos hacer crecer nuestro deporte y que sedes como la de Sierra Nevada nos acercan al objetivo de hacerlo más popular. Tenemos un circuito largo y con mucha nieve y seguro que lo disfrutaremos”.
El joven rider de RFEDI, Alvaro Romero, en representación del equipo nacional español, ha conocido hoy el circuito de la Loma de Dílar y su impresión no puede ser mejor: “tiene muy buena pinta, es un circuito largo, curvas grandes y bien hechas, mucho trabajo a la hora de hacer este circuito. Tiene muy buena y estamos muy contentos.” “Una carrera muy bonita porque iba con expectativas altas, a dar mi mejor nivel. Salió muy bien, luché mucho, con los mejores y me vi capaz de estar con ellos así que me voy muy feliz de Georgia y es lo mejor que me podía pasar para venir aquí con la mayor motivación a la Copa del Mundo de Sierra Nevada.”
