2025 Several major ski stations in the south of France are now closed for the 2024/2025 year as snowfall in the Pyrénées mountains dwindles and spring comes into force Five stations remain open on the French side of the mountain chain: Grand Tourmalet and Les Angles will remain open until Sunday April 6 Piau-Engaly and Le Pic du Midi open until April 21.  Resorts that saw their final skiers for the season this weekend included Luz-Ardiden A bout of snow on Saturday followed by a sun-drenched Sunday provided ideal conditions for the final patrons of the closing stations who were able to hit the pistes one final time.  Unlike other closures in the mountain chain this is not an early end to the season but part of the annual framework for the resorts.  From the end of the February half-term holidays the number of visitors to resorts drops considerably however running costs remain the same.  the few remaining skiers would be split among them The warmer days also mean less chance of snow reducing the number of available pistes.  The 2024/2025 season was one of good cheer for several resorts with high visitor numbers and a fair amount of snow.  Around 352,000 skiers visited the Ax 3 Domaines resort in part due to a high number of visitors in the Christmas period.  The N'PY group that manages eight major resorts in the mountains recorded 2,025,000 visitors across its slopes 100,000 more than the previous year.  The record – 2,160,000 set in 2021/2022 – was a result of a post-Covid lockdown boom A busy Christmas compensated for a quieter March – the group saw less than 30,000 skiers last weekend The stations that remain open are situated higher in the mountains and less at risk of snow melting before the season ends That being said, a warm spell will cover France from the end of this week with temperatures up to 20C in several areas Whilst it will not reach this level at the peaks no snow is likely to fall between now and the weekend Read more: French ski

selection process acquiring starters such as center Beaux Limmer (Round 6 Limmer became the starter late in the season after inconsistency from free agent signing Jonah Jackson and never let go displaying quality performances after another and establishing himself as a potential cornerstone in the middle of the offensive line “I think he has a big-picture understanding, and the game makes sense to him,” head coach Sean McVay said following Limmer’s debut in Week 11 “I think he's continuing to improve in his ownership and his command to be able to communicate One of the most interesting things from the Rams 2024 draft class was the multiple selections of defensive lineman and pass rushers the Rams took edge rusher Brennan Jackson (Round 5 154) and defensive lineman Tyler Davis (Round 6 All four players have seen playing time one way or another Part of the reasoning for this was because of the retirement of Hall of Fame defensive tackle Aaron Donald “You're never going to ask somebody to replace that void he created but you can do that by the unit so to be able to get (OLB) Jared (Verse) to be able to get (OLB) Brennan (Jackson) on the edges The way that they play the game,” McVay said on the final day of the draft “Then to be able to add (DT) Braden (Fiske) and (DT) Tyler (Davis) Davis could potentially be the replacement for free agent nose tackle Bobby Brown III

projects Compatible with all models of Raspberry Pi but it’s pricey and doesn’t come with a lens Fast forward to 2023 and we have a new mainstream Pi camera, the Raspberry Pi Camera v3 which updates the original camera’s sensor-on-a-board form factor to pack a 12MP Sony IMX708 sensor and auto focus We tested both the standard and wide angle (non-NOIR) versions of the Camera v3 and found the image

Raspberry Pi Camera v3 The biggest downside of the official camera modules has always been the form factor It lacks a mechanism to lock the camera in place (in a class of 30 educators This issue was corrected with the HQ camera’s screw mount but with Camera Module v3 we see only the legacy mount points on the corners of the camera. Arducam’s autofocus camera features a case which provides a mount point via a clip-on case We would’ve loved this to come as standard with Camera Module 3 We powered on our Pi running the latest Raspberry Pi OS release and our first thought was to enable the camera interface but then we realised that we no longer had to do that We updated our list of software repositories and then upgraded the software This pulled the latest Camera Module v3 updates (Image credit: Tom's Hardware)(Image credit: Tom's Hardware)(Image credit: Tom's Hardware)(Image credit: Tom's Hardware)(Image credit: Tom's Hardware)(Image credit: Tom's Hardware)Our first test was via libcamera The camera was placed 9 inches away from the test objects and lighting was consistent between each shot What we found in our tests was that still images were excellent Be they near (4 inches / 10cm) or far they were of consistent quality and on par with the High Quality camera Autofocus times for still images were quick; we could see the camera hunting for a focus target but we could see the “steps” as the focus worked to keep up close up focus was excellent in our videos picking up the surface mount components of the original Raspberry Pi A new feature included with Camera Module 3 is HDR (High Dynamic Range) which increases the dynamic luminosity range of images With HDR we get deeper darkness and brighter images This works by capturing multiple images of the same scene These images are then combined into a single image which encompasses the entire range.  Camera Module 3’s HDR images are restricted to 3MP which libcamera uses to generate an image with a resolution of 2304 x 1296 The HDR image was unmistakably brighter and vibrant HDR would be an interesting addition to Raspberry Pi trail cams and to record landscape scenes An HDR image captured with libcamera.(Image credit: Tom's Hardware)A non-HDR image captured with libcamera.(Image credit: Tom's Hardware)Moving our tests to Picamera2 we recreated the steps in a recent how to but we noticed that autofocus wasn’t very “auto.” It turns out that we need to include an extra class import and a line of code before we open a preview window and record This extra line is picam2.set_controls({"AfMode": controls.AfModeEnum.Continuous}) and it comes from the libcamera Controls class.  With this line we instruct the camera to hunt for focus The process and quality is identical to libcamera Stills were of good quality and the camera focus hunt was acceptable Video recording was a little stuttery as the focus searched for a target (Image credit: Tom's Hardware)(Image credit: Tom's Hardware)Picamera2 also has HDR the kernel interface between the camera and the Linux video system Right now it does not offer ready support for HDR with this camera In order to activate HDR for Picamera2 we need to open a terminal and manually set the camera to use it v4l2-ctl --set-ctrl wide_dynamic_range=1 -d /dev/v4l-subdev0and to turn it off we use v4l2-ctl --set-ctrl wide_dynamic_range=0 -d /dev/v4l-subdev0We took two images with Picamera2 The results are nearly identical to libcamera but dare we say that the HDR Picamera image looks a little better Wide angle 120 degree lens(Image credit: Future)Standard 75 degree lens.(Image credit: Future)The wide angle version of Camera Module 3 brings a 120 degree angle of view In other words we get wider shots that encompass a greater area The extra field of view brings with it a little distortion in the vertical plane – think the opening crawl to Star Wars But the extra horizontal space is remarkable and shows (for better or worse) the state of our workbench everything is the same as the standard 75 degree version We took some close up images with the wide lens We also created a quick scene to show colors We’d use this lens for outdoor projects such as trail cams you could hack them with a little scalpel work on the lens ring) meant that Machine Learning and AI projects could be difficult Faces / objects would need to be a set distance from the camera in order to “see” them With the Camera Module 3 we have an opportunity to extend the vision of our ML/AI projects and use them to monitor objects from afar focusing on the red car on a freeway or spotting a bluejay flying in the trees hobbyists will use the autofocus on the trail cameras alarm systems and robot vision projects to provide dynamic responses to moving objects The wide angle lens lends itself to outdoor projects the distortion may not benefit your intended use Research and testing before deploying to mission critical projects is a must you’ll see benefits from using the Camera v3 over the similarly-priced Camera v2 If you are running the latest Raspberry Pi OS this is truly plug and play and the results are great Sure we lack the standard camera mounting screw as found on Arducam’s version video is good and HDR is a welcome addition to the repertoire We won’t be shooting the next blockbuster

Neiges Catalanes Nestling in the majestic mountains of the Pyrenees these ski resorts offer an incomparable skiing experience while being steeped in the rich Catalan culture And if crème Catalane has conquered taste buds the world over let Neiges Catalanes melt your mountain and skiing heart The Catalan mountains have always been a popular destination for skiers and winter sports enthusiasts Neiges Catalanes offers an unrivalled skiing experience combining Catalan tradition with modern facilities Neiges Catalanes has always emphasised the importance of solidarity between resorts Despite their competitive nature at the outset these resorts have been able to join forces to offer a varied and attractive range of activities Les Neiges Catalanes is an assortment of 6 ski areas, with 6 different flavours: Font-Romeu Pyrénées 2000, Porté Puymorens, Cambre d’Aze, La Quillane, Les Angles and Formiguères the word “Catalan” is not just a geographical reference: it conjures up a whole world of culture like a recipe handed down from generation to generation and cultural ingredients drawn from a medieval past The Catalan snows are not just synonymous with snow-capped peaks and ski slopes; they also evoke centuries-old traditions When we talk about the ‘Neiges Catalanes’ we’re also talking about skiing with character skiing that can be enjoyed both on the slopes and by the fire to the sound of a sardana or over a plate of ‘trinxat’ It’s this richness and diversity that makes the Neiges Catalanes a destination in a class of its own Each resort offers panoramas to feast your eyes on and slopes to savour Although distinct in terms of topography and atmosphere they share a number of common features that make this popular destination so strong and unique All these resorts are nestled in the majestic Catalan Pyrenees hours from Perpignan or 2 hours from Barcelona Those who have the privilege of owning a second home among the 45,000 beds in Puigcerdà are particularly spoilt for choice Spaniards represent around 20-40% of customers depending on the resorts in the Neiges Catalanes” It has to be said that the Neiges Catalanes resorts offer breathtaking panoramas Whether you’re on the Gallinera plateau at an altitude of over 2000 metres in Font Romeu with an uninterrupted view over the entire Cerdan plateau the Cambre d’Aze and the Canigó massif or at the top of the Roc d’Aude in Les Angles with its area alternating between forests of hooked pine and wide open spaces you can’t help but be moved by the scenery before you At Cambre d’Aze skiers can explore a ski area reaching an altitude of 2,400 metres at the foot of an imposing glacial cirque revealing the vast expanses of the Cerdagne not forgetting the proud peaks of the Catalan Pyrenees the Mediterranean can even be glimpsed on the horizon adding an exotic touch to the winter picture Further east, Porte Puymorens offers a vertiginous experience a terrace boldly designed in translucent glass and steel suspends visitors above the void taking in the whole ski area set against a backdrop of mountains Formiguères, with its breathtaking views from the arrival point of the Serre de Maury chairlift at 2320 metres, reveals the Galbe valley and the Capcir plateau in all their splendour. Finally, the resort of La Quillane invites you to contemplate from the top of the Mouscadou ski lift at 1,900 metres. The snow-capped peaks stand out against the blue sky, offering a natural spectacle of the utmost beauty. When it comes to skiing, these resorts have retained the authentic flavour of the past while incorporating the latest innovations, such as a traditional dessert revisited by a Michelin-starred chef, with modern facilities, in terms of ski lifts, snowmaking and the services offered to skiers. Les Neiges Catalanes is like an assortment of macaroons. Each resort is a different flavour, but they all share that Catalan essence, that marzipan that binds it all together. With 210 km of pistes, it’s like a big meringue just waiting for you. Add to that almost 100 ski lifts, guaranteeing unrivalled access comfort, and 1000 snow cannons, ensuring optimum snow quality all season long. Whether you’re a beginner, intermediate or expert, you’ll find pistes to suit you. What’s more, they also offer fun zones, snowparks and areas reserved for younger skiers. But that’s not all! Lovers of Nordic skiing will also find plenty to do here, with 160km of dedicated pistes. This offer is further enhanced by the Capcir Nordic resort, which brings together three breathtaking areas: La Calme, La Llose and Les Estanyols. Walking enthusiasts have not been forgotten: over 250km of dedicated snowshoe trails and white trails await adventurers in search of untouched landscapes. Les Neiges Catalanes is like an assortment of petits fours: you can try everything without having to travel too far. The proximity of the resorts makes it extremely easy to discover several of them in a short space of time. For example, it takes just 20 minutes by car from Les Angles to Font Romeu, or 45 minutes from Porte Puymorens to Cambre d’Aze. By road, it’s just 7 minutes from Les Angles to Fomiguères, and 14 minutes from La Quillane to Font Romeu. The Season ski pass and the Week ski pass are shared by all the Neiges Catalanes resorts. They give access to the seven downhill ski areas and the Nordic ski area. So, instead of limiting yourself to a single resort, you can vary the pleasures and discover the different slopes, panoramas and special features of each resort. Take advantage of an exclusive offer until 03 December 2023: the season ski pass is discounted to €609. And for families, there’s an unmissable offer: buy four season passes and the cheapest one is on offer. And for those who want to enjoy Les Neiges Catalanes by the week, there’s a 6-day ski pass from €228 (reduced rate) or a 7-day ski pass from €251 (reduced rate). Over and above these tempting offers, the Neiges Catalanes have become a real tool for regional development. These resorts are not just places for winter fun, they are also powerful levers for local development. In March, these thousand little stars sparkle on the slopes, all gathered in the same resort for a new introduction to skiing. It’s a great way for Neiges Catalanes to shape the future, by ensuring generational renewal and promoting mountain culture. With 12 years under their belts and 12,000 children taught, they can proudly say that they have added their grain of salt to the next generation. More resorts and ski areas open this weekend.
