The ski season normally lasts from the beginning of December until the end of April or beginning of May.
Artificial snow machines now mean that the resort can open for skiing even when there is no natural snow.
Andalusia has a very high proportion of sunny days even in the winter and usually it is possible to ski with beautiful blue skies and warm temperatures.
It is possible to ski in the morning and have a sunbath at the beach in the afternoon on the same day.

The highest summit of the Sierra Nevada range is Mulhacén at 3,481 metres.
The highest ski lift and piste goes to just below Veleta which is at 3,398 metres.
