There are a few days missing and other things i would like to go into more depth but the internet access is slow and expensive so ill fill in the gaps when i get to Buenos Aires. We arrived in Las Lenas on saturday night in blizzard conditions and it looked like the first day would be a right off due weather, but the snow gods have been good to us, conditions cleared early morning allowing just enough time to get hire gear and lift tickets sorted. We then headed to the top of the mountain (3500m), is hard work up there. We were greeted by atleast 12 inches of glorious powder and that was on the groomed runs and a good 2 foot deep just off the track in some awesome bowls. The down side so far is i think this snow will be spoiling and ill never be able to board anywhere else. I would love to put up some photos but that is proving hard than i imagined, but they are coming
empty mountain
.Meet up with the others here, and everyone seems to have enjoyed there own travels so far. We have a few days in BA together before they head for Brazil and me for Peru.
I dont want to spend to much time down here, sorry for the lack of detail but all that needs to be said is this is the best snow i have ever heard of and we are having a blast. Will fill in the blanks in a few days.
Adios
