Enjoying the Teide Snow
One way in which you can enjoy the Tenerife snow, from anywhere (even if you can't ski on it), is via the webcam situated at 2,400 meters above sea level on the residence building of the Canarian Astrophysics Institute's Teide Observatory at Izaña. They underline that, "On a clear day, Teide volcano is visible" and, it is certain that this view is often obscured by cloud.
However, through experience and frequent time wasting practice, I have discovered that the best time of day to, hopefully, catch a clear patch, is between 8 am and 10 am.
That is Western European Time and it will be the same times, if you are in the UK. If you live anywhere else in the world, you can use this tool, Time Zone Converter (Via: Quick Online Tips), to find out what those times correspond to at your location.
