Marte Powder Day Monday 4th of august
After a few rain/snow storms in the past week the upper part of the mountain has finaly filled in nicely. With no wind in the forecast – a blue bird powder day- Marte finally opened after having been closed for almost 2 weeks. The snow was amazing light dry Leñas pow. Eduardo and most of the offpist opened for the first time this season. Everybody was super stoked! By mid afternoon the sky started to get hazy and visibility wasn’t great and the temperatures had increased rapidly to + 6 Celsius at the base but not effecting the snow on the south facing slopes yet.
On Tuesday morning it was still sunny but the wind had picked up again to the usual Leñas level. We where all sure that Marte was going to stay closed due to the high winds which the winter chanel also confirmed. So we ended up going to the mountain late at around 10.30, we were all beat from the big pow day before and were not expecting to ride anything big. When we arrived they closed Marte in front of our face it was freakishly open for an hour in the morning – OH SHIT! So the rest of the day was spent celebrating El dia de montaña drinking beers at the base.
Last night it got cold again and it started snowing all the way to the base early morning. We woke up to about 20cm of pow on our doorstep. Today it is extremely windy and only Caris chair was opened briefly and we got in a couple of pow laps on Cenidor. It stopped snowing at around noon.
Shreddy!!!!
