There are more dangerous things in the Pyrénées than bears these days…
More dangerous than bearsI was warned that going to the Pyrénées this weekend would bring with it some risks such as road blocks and avalanches, but no one warned me I’d meet a stunning masked lady in the woods… She sure gave me a big surprise!
For the record, and it is a record, the depth of snow here has surpassed anything before seen by living man (although a few dead ones might disagree). It has passed the two meter depth at the bottom of the slopes for the first time since records began. (Do you remember ‘Telstar’ by the Tornados?)
The snow covering the roof has slowly slid into interesting shapes, the barbecue has all but disappeared under a snow dune, Peter’s restaurant has gone underground, walking in the snow has introduced me to muscles previously unheard of, and the dogs have taken to tunnelling.
As for skiing, well, perfect snow conditions with imperfect skiers. Annick and Mike both lost skis whilst on the ski lift. And I didn’t think disabled access would be that easy…
Nice views though…
