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!

Colle di Bousson, 2200m 4-Dic-2010 (Alpes)

New day of finding out the Alps area near to Torino with Carlos. The idea was to drive to a small village close to Cesana. The time travel was a pleasent way along the Susa valley and staring at the summits of each side of the valley.

The day looked cold with -10ºC at 1300m in the morning. This sector is like a circle with some lakes in the center surrounded by summits of 2400m more and less. The idea was to walk to the lake and later reach one of these summits.

Everything went on the good way...when suddenly one of my rented snowshoes was broken. We were on the point of giving up the day due to the deep snow. Anyway, we decided to try going on. We reached much farther that we expected in that moment.




I do not know how, but I got the coll of Bousson with 2200m and 800m on our legs...The descend was slow because of the light slopness but pleasent among the tress, the views of the high mountains and the special light of december´s Sun.



Going back home with different views with monte Chaberton (3110m).


Good day special for Carlos and his first day of backpacking, he is getting on fastly! I have an exam on Tuesday, but later I´ll be ready for more whatever snow issue.
