Spring ski touring trip near Gavarnie, Hautes Pyrenees
We had a great day ski touring today up on the Plateau de Saugue. Blue skies and far reaching views resulted in some fabulous views from the top.
Snow condtions: Still plenty of snow to be found with average snow depths of 115cm at 1800m and still 3.0m at 2500m! Spring conditions prevail at the moment with the 0 degree Isotherm staying over 3000m, but with the deep pack and new snow turning from sticky to granular there is good skiing on the Northern apsects.
