It’s been snowing heavily over the last fortnight out here in the Pyrenees. It's still only a few days until the ski stations open this coming weekend, but some people just can’t wait that long!
Last weekend we dusted off the ski touring equipment and went out for our first outing of the season up above the ski station at Luz Ardiden.
It was gloriously sunny lower down but as we climbed higher up the slope, the wind picked up and the sky gradually became overcast.
At the top of the ridge, we were greeted with a freezing wind as we hurried to get our skins off and ready for the descent, through half a metre of powder.
Whether we are out on snow shoes, skis or simply a sledge, the first time out in the snow is always magical.
