When will you be there? I was planning to base in Barcelona mid Dec-mid Jan. so I haven't looked for biking. Mostly just skiing... I've always wanted to ski Andorra!

The UP-arrow is like 300m or a bit more of vert, and around 45 degrees. Some of it is steeper and the apron is shallower, but big.
Good times, already climbed that one but now need to ski it.
Lookie goodie - I am ready to drop some euro lines this year - its been to easy riding the pow here in the wasatch.Quote:

Actually they are just scans from Pyrenees - Courses mixtes, neige et glace by Francis MOUSEL (mine is in french, though a spanish version exists). At least, if you're talkin' about the Pyrenees.Quote:

When interfacing with the local population, keep in mind that "Commandante" has a somewhat different ring in Spain compared to the U.S.
Good luck over there and stay in touch.
Man, enjoy one of the coolest cities on the planet Earth. Many places are great, your new home is one of them. Living all over the world is the only way to live. I'm envious.
CB, what do you do for work? how did you find a job overseas?
im a sytems admin/dba and would love to do a couple years overseas, just not sure how to find work.
Fez - I do pharma/biotech patent work. I think there are opportunities overseas, but it can be tough getting a job in the EU if you are a non-EU citizen.
I think though with your skills you might be able to freelance... Can you consult and/or work over the net? Cause if you can, then that might be the way. PM me if you want more info on that.
Best way to see Europe is to live over there!!
Lookin forward to Europe but Utah wasnt to bad last season :biggrin:

Bon voyage Commander .
J'ai toujour trouve que Camus en francais est meilleur.
I forgot most of my french (or it is lost in the depths of my brain somewhere), so I can't translate these ones from AC, but I always liked them.
