Today was a special day at Cerro Catedral ski resort in Bariloche, Argentina.

The day held fresh snow, cold temps, no wind, sunny skies, and a blanket of snow over every low lying point.  

The low clouds gave the day a gorgeous, other worldly feel that was worth it’s weight in gold.

There was no storm forecast last night – but a storm there most certainly was.

It snowed for 4 hours on the mountain last night right down to the base.

When the sun rose this morning, there was 4-8″ of new snow up top.

Really hoping for a clear day tomorrow to get to this local classic. image: snowbrains

Anywhere that was smooth was buttery and fun.

Even the rough stuff skied well.

Nubes was damn fun in the morning.

La Laguna was creamy, sunny, and soft.

The backcountry looked unreal today…  

I can’t wait to get out there tomorrow.

I had 3 different interviews with Fox Sports today. A very fun mental challenge to talk that fast in Spanish….

I skied from 9am right until the lifts closed at 4:30pm and was so elated, I never felt tired.

I’m still a bit high off the day as I write this at 11pm at night.

I’ve only been here a week and we’ve already had 4 powder days and tomorrow will be another.

I simply cannot wait for tomorrow.
