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!

Pic de Vacivèr Ovest, 2604m 12/09/12

Off to val d´Aran again this weekend. It had been snowing in the north side of the Pyrinees during the week....I went there on Saturday morning  hoping that weather cleared up sooner than forecasts...it didnt though! At least the hotel was cool.

Sunday was nice as it was expected to be. The risk of avalanche was quite high so I decided to go a free danger zone where I knew before hand I wasnt going to be alone.

Simply, it was a magical ascent through a pine forest full of snow. Exactly the same as Alps....






Aneto peak and others of the highest peaks of the Pyrinees were easy to see from the track all the way up till the summit.

I got the west peak since its slope was just for me. i didnt want to share the east one qith other 10 skiers before me....


Good choice....

Then I joined some of them. They drove me to a tube which ended right at the parking. it was good to meet them considering that it could have been a little tricky to find the best way to go down through the woods...



Another classical peak of Val de Aran done with perfecto conditions! Il keep my fingers crossed for the next weekend! I already have another good one chosen!
