The Fall of 2008 was extremely wet and cold. There were a lot of snowfall, one of them very early in the Autumn like this in the second half of October. I even though it was going to be enough for snowboarding. I was very optimistic, but in fact I could descend about 100-150m of vertical difference.
Where I live, I can´t ask more. I only have one photo of that day.
NOVEMBER, 6 2008
Following the way of October, November began with heavy snowfall. Those snowfall are unusal here in early Fall. A big amount of snow fell and the snow covered lasted months, because it kept on snowing in Fall, Winter and Spring like ever.
I drove to San Isidro the day before, but there was no visibility. I could not enjoy it too much. One day after, 6 of November, took place probably the greatest open day of backcountry season of my life. The amount of snow for being November is awesome.
First I went to Requejines. This slope is perfect to be descended with the first snows. It was waiting for me...
My face was hit by the snow flakes...like Winter welcomed me.
Later we went to Fuentes de Invierno for descending the "Tubo del Toneo", for completing that fantastic day. The top ends at 1950m, and the basin is 300m below it. The conditions was better than other times when the ski-station is open. That day was entirely for us and sprintless.
