Happy New Year for anyone who stops and reads this blog!!
In this first trip of 2014 I came to Aran valley as it would be surprinsingly weird to have gone elsewhere...haha. During this Christmas I spent to wonderful days on pistes. One day in Baqueira an another in Espot ski, both days first clear day after snowfalls so was worth paying the skipass.
Tuc de Salana was in my bucket list of last year but the road is normally either snowy or icy so I had always left it for "the next time"...So next time was this Saturday and set out to enjoy some solitude and nature (obviously not a great descent after 2 weeks of southern stream).
This guy was training for the dog sled championship next month in the Dolomiti.
If I was Thoreau that would have been my hut...
At that point I turned right and went into a pine forest.
As usual, beautiful place. Despite my fears, the snow wasnt hard. I even skinned up without crampons all the time.
Nature and solitude...exactly what I was looking
for!
Frontwards a group of French skiers and the summit of Tuc de la Salana.
Montarto seen from the ridge. That was my last trip with the splitboard in Aran last year...
And summit! Colomers area at the background.
The snow wasnt bad to go down either, but this has to be a really great one with good snow! A first part with open slopes and some scattered pines...
Giving pass to the "tube" I had gone all the way up during the ascent...
Beautiful place as I expected it to be...The following day I decided to give a chance to Vall de Boi which lays in the south side of the Pyrenees. Anyways, unless it snows I wont find greater conditions in the north side....so good opportunity to discover and scout new zones.
