On Tuesday the weather sunny and warm and strolled up Joubac in shirt-sleeves watching some planes land on the airstrip, then in the evening and yesterday the temperatures plummeted and we had snow flurries.
Today we went up Pic Estibat to check it out. Wow was it cold! A glove off your hand for a couple of seconds and it was numb. On the summit the west wind was biting. We dropped along the ridge heading towards Pic de Journalade and took shelter behind the rock outcrop at 1593m for lunch, before dropping over the edge into the Goute de Roque and looping back to the col de Port.
Deep powder overlaying the iron hard old snow made for some interesting descents!
