For snowboarders who like mountains...

This blog has been created with the purpose of compiling almost all my backcountry days from my first steps in the Cantabrican mountains to mountain ranges such as the Alps and the Pyrenees, and hopefully filled in the future with many travels in the pursuit of great rides and remote areas. Enjoy the reading!

Highway to Powder Cantabrico 1-10,Sunday-2010

The snowfall fell on Saturday was the biggest in Oviedo and precoast in the last fifteen or twenty years. It led to astonishing views of "Y", which was lightly snow covered.

A few km later, the Highway had more snow. It was a surprise, because such near Oviedo and be able to see those amount of snow, it´s very rare.




I left the highway, and the road gets worse.


This reminded me a documentary about the "Ice Roads" in Finland and other northern countries.



I picked up Noel at Bello, and then we set out the most interesting part of the path. We had to put chains to rise the pass of San Isidro. We arrived at parking of the resort 3 hours later of my departure. It was very cold -10ºC at 13h. Althought it was nice, if it´s compared with the -17ºC at 9h!!
We had 4-5h ahead to enjoy the excellent quality of this deep snow, which it isn´t abundant in our mountains.










PD: In case of reading, I hope you forgive me for mistakes.
