population six: pyrenean notes
Copyright Population Six 2004


More ski touring on French side of Tunel de Bielsa below Pic de Bataillance. Superb weather and scenery made for an incredible day out in the mountains. Once again amazed by the extent this sport opens up mountains to you in winter. Avisable though to go with somebody that has a bit of experience in this sport, especially as a few days prior to this outing the heaviest snowfall of winter fell. We all had our avalanche alarm devices, and praticed localizing rucksacks buried in snow with alarm inside. We finished day all on a high: 600m ascent, magnificent scenery, mountains all to ourselves apart from a few ice climbers, and a slightly improved descent from previous weekend! Look forward to more ski tours...
