Skiing in the Pyrennes

January 3, 2012
Today we went skiing for the first time and it was absolutely incredible!!!  It felt like I was in a completely different fairytale world.  We went to Formigal, the biggest one in Spain which is about a half an hour drive from Sabi.  From the road it doesn't look like much but you actually drive into the mountain to get to the parking lot.  And there are 4 parking lots all located in different places in the mountains.  So when you are skiing you can pretty much ski in 360 degrees and 'travel' across the mountains.  Like its not all on one face or plane at all so you can never see the whole thing but it makes for a feeling of being on top of the world and really going somewhere.  Also all hidden throughout the trails and bars and restaurants of course with great food.  They also have hired DJ's to play great music all day and the food options are insane!  You can get regular 'mountain food' or kababs or crepes or pretty much anything you can think of.  They also have around 3 magic carpets and pomas which are actually quite long like you aren't just skiing for 20 seconds on a flat part.  I can't believe the skiing here and am so excited to go again!!!!
