Since we havent skied that year yet we wento to a pair of ski resorts first -Formigal and Astun-, and we left one day to reach our first 3000 on snowboard. We chose Garmo Negro peak, because its long and safe descent under that snow conditions.
Having waken up early, we crossed the pine woods at nigh. We received the first lights at 1900m aprox (the departure was at 1600). That moment was peaceful.
Cesar went out of the last pines.
In the Mallata Alta at 2150m, after a bit more of 1hour of tracking up..
From there we could see the Algas peak in the left hand side and Garmo negro towards the other side.
We followed the ski track of the weekend.
Before the summit, we are supposed to get the col at 2900m.
The last slope was quite hard because of the firm snow. From the summit the views were wonderful. The Pirineo is huge, we thought.
As I said before the worst part was the slope from the summit to the col. The snow was quite hard and the sloping was about 30º-35º. In spite of it, we could make turns carefully...
...till the col. From there the snow was completely diferent. It let us making wide turns, although our technique on this kind of snow was pretty poor at the time.
This was the refuge where we slept.
