Description

A circular snowdrift, about 12.50 m. in diameter, located on the NE slope of Pic Nevera, to which it has given its name, now covered with bushes and some white pines.

The whole area has been affected by forest fires. The southern sector of the deposit is flush with the slope, while it becomes progressively more rooted up to the NE sector. An earth slope, already colonized, widens the construction in this sector, protecting it.

In its present state, very deteriorated, the inner part has a depth of 3.30 m with respect to the top of the walls. However, it is very filled with stones and earth, coming from the undermining of the walls themselves. It may have been deeper. Its capacity is estimated at about 450 m3. There is no stairway, but there is a platform for loading cattle, located in the SE sector of the deposit.

There are no openings or signs of drainage.

The tank, of the snowdrift type, lacked a roof.
