Marc Dubin first went to the Pyrenees in 1986 - and thigh-deep in snowmelt, discovered why most facilities are shut in May. Since then he has returned several times to both sides of the range, on one visit toting a 23-kilo pack through the mountains in the course of researching a hiking guide to Spain.
