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!

Tuc de Costarjàs, 2333m y Tuc deth Miei, 2250m ... Opening day in Vall d´Aran! 11/30/2012


There we gooo!! The wish I had about living some time close to the Pyrinees and Barcelona has come true since I ve been transfered to Reus! So, as I did in Torino it´s time to make the most of all the new possibilities this time of my life has to offer!

November was dry and warm and we all started to get nervous. Our fortune changed and in just 5 days the Pyrinees set its winter mode on!

Friday posed as the perfect day for my purpose: first sunny day after the snowfalls, local festivity in Reus....just one downside...I couldnt stay longer because I had to take inventory on Saturday.But it didnt matter, job entails responsabilities and I still had Friday to enjoy!

3h of driving after work on Thursday and i got Vielha with -12ºC at 23h. The last snowflakes wellcome me in Vielha for my delight!

Morning friday heading up the easy peak of Tuc deth Miei close to Beret.


It reminded me of Alps....what ´s always a pleasure..


Actually there wasnt any difference in terms of view, amount of snow, quality...


And after a pretty enjoyable ascent through a pine forest I got the summit in a cold Friday. The new jacket I bought its awesome...I wasnt cold in any moment in such a cold day...I kept the other one always in the backpack.


Deep snow in the whole descent...Beatiful one too...




Once I was back in the parking again I decided to climb another one. I tracked up through that small valley. It wasnt that beatiful as the other one but it looked quite good to go downhill....



This peak was a bit higher letting me to see the Maladeta massif at the background.


Now time to go down.....


Good snow but I missed it to be a little steeper in some parts....but in other ones was fairly good.


After such a wonderful opening day, I still had the road to enjoy ....
