Freeride Skiing Difficult
From the Laguna's chairlift, take the red slope Olimpica - this slope is pretty flat at the beginning and a bit narrow. The best approach is to take as much speed possible to join the black slope Tajo de la virgin. Please note that this slope is closed most of the time so as soon as you leave the red slopes you are already in the backcountry. Stay as high as you can - most of the time the track will already be in. This is the only easy way to access this line. You can clearly see where there is a nice gully, we still need to carry on as high as possible above it. Once the gully area is passed there is a little ridge. We must continue the traverse to get access to the Laguna's area beyond this ridge - this is a hike of about 10 minutes. Bear in mind we are traversing a real steep part, between 45 to 50 degrees so take particular care. Continue traversing with skis on for about 300 meters until you join a lower rock band, then go straight down. There are a few big rocks in the middle that you can put turns around. It slowly flattens as you descend. Try to keep up some speed to join the red slope Cartujo's red run, bringing you down to the 4 seater express chairlift.

A line based on the same route than the laguna as all these line are very well linked together as the "Tajo de la virgin" black slopes is the only way to access to this. The best is the to take as much possible speed to do not have to push too much with the ski poles.
