'live View / - Axis 206m'

SIERRA NEVADA, IF THERE IS SNOW HERE.

After warm fronts left much of the English geography bare of snow, came to our attention that down south, one station bravely survived the invader. Swift and fast run to check how true that statement was for. Ah ... Sierra Nevada is different, that sun, that peace, these sandwiches, these beers, and of course, the 4 feet of snow! Two very intense days we spent to summarize.



Borreguiles and Veleta at the bottom, the entire open season at 100 x 100 and very few people, what more could you ask for.



Under these conditions we came up, does not resist any of the classics, here the entrance of the visor.



The Veleta tube, another to get down with the legs breathing fire.



The Lagoon area of \u200b\u200bthe mares, it is not easy to find in these conditions.



The entrance to the Springboard, another good.



From the top of the station, this sea of \u200b\u200bclouds covering the Alpujarra prevents us from seeing the sea. It matters little at this show.



The Olympic, the longest downhill of the season.

Until next time friends. Classical

Valdemartín, 2278 M, SHOVEL DOWN SOUTH.

is becoming increasingly more difficult skiing in the Sierra de Guadarrama, the lack of snow and continuing southern fronts are making this season one of the worst I remember. Anyway, while there is winter, there is still hope.



Route today will take us higher to lower blade Valdemartín south, undoubtedly one of the best descents in the area. We fur and come back up, the latest decline is through the tracks until you reach the starting point in the parking lot. In blue stretches of uphill and downhill red.



leave behind the car park, in the first part of the climb, the snow is in the minority.



Over here I have to climb, broom and stone are the dominant elements.




seems that at least the last descent is assured, several tracks on the Valdesqui high present a good appearance.



I still gained altitude, near the hill of cortadillos, the continuity of the snow makes it much easier to progress.



My joy is such that I exercise in the helper.



cortadillos Very close.



Overcoming the hill, penalties and two sisters behind me.



last part of the climb, the sun caresses the top of Valdemartín.



'll be in 20 minutes removing the skins and down, come we go ...

Pongo blades, lest a slip ...



I roll this icy slope.



The snow is very hard but the slope near the top decreases.



Cima, 2280 m.



Cabezas de Hierro watch as I prepare for the descent.



A stiff, hardly see down the track.



far we have come now to make skins again, climbing and enjoy going down the tracks.



Once there, repeat the ritual and the track under the watchful gaze of an astonished and not give credit dancefloor, the lifts that lead to that area are closed, the track you just tread just for me that detail!

A hug friends and the next.
