It has been snowing in the Pyrenees and some of the ski stations opened last weekend. We had our first chance to spend a day in Les Angles today - after a foot of snow last night !
Consequently this morning, the roads were quite fun for about 30 miles before you got to the station. I hate chains, I know how to fit them , but they are a pain.
Today I discovered "snow socks" ! A revelation, 2 mins to fit /remove , no cold hands, no adjusting - brilliant. They work very well too ..... and the skiing was sensational, blue-sky powder day
(I don't sell snow-socks and I am aware of some of the homologation issues, but if you can't fit chains -19" wheels - give them a try)
