Novice area at Bareges, Pyrenees

My wife wants to try snowboarding and I have said I will take her for a morning to see if she likes it - and if she does, she will sign up for proper lessons (and before anybody says it, yes I know this is a recipe for a row! :roll:

We have a house not too far from Bareges-La Mongie in the Pyrenees so will go there or one of the other resorts nearby

Does anybody know if you have to have a lift pass to use the carpet lift in the lower area of Bareges? or can we use it for free? Other resorts I have been to have a novice carpet with no lift gates.

Any other resorts with carpets nearby? (drag lifts are a pain for snowboarders and I'm not taking her on a chair when she's never been on a board!)

thanks for any advice

I read the first 6 words of your post and the word divorce came into my head.

Yeah, but the first two words of the OP's username imply it may be a happy marriage! 8)

And then I read the 2nd paragraph and the phrase "Any chance of a cheap week" sprang into my thoughts
