Mountain trekking

On a Friday we had an unexpected visit at school. A woman and his father had come to share there experience at one of the mountains of the Himalayas. Even though it being a 5000m mountain they climbed the pressure was still low making the woman ill and having to evacuate with a helicopter.
(We were all impressed she was about to die). Her father also talked us about the top five highest mountains .nd where they were. (In Spanish).

K2 Review

K2 

Mt k2 is the second highest mountain in the world located in Pakistan. Here we have done a danger review/opinion of the mountain.

Danger rating:
Mark
Its main dangers are steep and rocky slopes and avalanches so I would say that it is 10/10 as it is very dangerous, the most dangerous in the world!
Diogo
You can see that it has major dangers by its vertical angles so I would say that it can beat Mt Everest. In my opinion I would also say 9 or 9.5/10.

Ski mountains

I would like to inform you, visitors, about the experience I had in Andorra. I thought you might enjoy it. 
Grandvalira is one of the best ski resorts I used with the giant amount of facilities it provides. It is also cool how you get there, we had to get a bus but then  a 25min cable car brought us to the actual ski slopes. The place itself is also good, it has two restaurants/bars and you can rent the skis there like in the village (Encamp). When you reach the end of the cable car you would be at roughly 2500 m where the (ski) classes start and end. The weekend I went to those snowy mountains I had long 3hr classes which increased my level and skiing techniches.
As our blog is also related to climate I will explain the weather in the area we stayed:
The first day as we aproached our destination it started to snow but we didn`t have time to ski because it was late.
The day the classes started it snowed in the beggining but the weather got better later.

In the last day the same thing happened just that the good weather came first and the colder temperatures where noticed in the end of the class. The forecast was also that it was going to be windy which in some points was true.
Even if you ski or not I strongly recommend Andorra and the pyrenees to everyone.
The last thing I would like to remind is that there will be the ski championship in this location in the end of February.

HOTEL RATING:

Hotel Nordic: 9/10

Everything is nearly perfect, only the bed is not really comfy. It was a 4 star hotel but I would put 5 . Good job Nordic!

Hotel PARIS: 6.5/10

For a three star hotel it wasnt that bad but it had its defects. I was quite excited in the beggining because it was very big. In my opinion they would have to modernise it.
