I went to be last night at 1pm watching it rain on the summit via webcam. ย I slept in and arrivedย atย Cerro Catedral ski resort in Bariloche, Argentina at 11am in the pouring rain. ย When I got the the Sextuple Chair, the chairs coming down were covered in snow. ย I smiled…

I was mad at myself for arriving late. ย I know better…

When I got the top of the mountain I found 10-24″ of new, wet snow and crazy fun conditions. ย I skied as hard as I could until 4pm to make up for my morning lack of judgement. ย I had an absolute ball.

There was no one out at all today and it snowed and blowed all day. ย 

Despite being wet, the new snow skied very deep. ย Porpoising turns, bouncing, slashing, laughing.

Snow line was about half way up the mountain around 1,400m. ย But, it was snowing to the base as of 6pm today.

Today was too fun. ย Tomorrow should be wildly good with the threat of some sunshine… ย It’s supposed to snow all night.
