Consistent heavy snowfall from Friday through the weekend resulted in a snowstorm ‘like those of before’, according to locals. Residents lost power and water, and roads were closed.

The routes to Bariloche and to San Martin remain closed, although are expected to open this morning.

Bariloche Ski Class are advising against going off-piste right now, due to high avalanche risk.
