Amazing surprise snow storm for Easter Sunday! Which also happened to be my entire ski season. Jesse, Morgan and I rented a car which turned out to be a mini van, headed towards the Pyrenees for a ski day...
We stopped for a walk around Montserrat on the way to the mountains. Old monastery built right into a mountain. Chilly. Impressive.
The drive to the Pyrenees was pretty cool - we must have gone through at least six mountain tunnels getting to La Molina. Checked into our hotel and set out for dinner. We forgot every single map in the hotel room so just went with our guts...led us to a little mountain village called Das. Interesting/intimidating street size vs car width ratio. Jesse got us out without a scratch. We ended up eating cheese fondue in a village or town called Alps (which also had rediculously narrow streets).
Thank you again to Khobe and Doug for lending 3 pairs of ski pants and 3 pairs of goggles...necessities for our one day on the mountain. Morgan might have broken her thumb (but was also caught smiling on the mountain). Jesse and I took an afternoon gondola into a complete white out. Everyone made it to 4pm meeting at the base bar for a mandatory beer. Excellent day!
Whats up Robin! just saw this a year later. i heard you guys had a good time but great photos. glad it worked out.
