“Cerro Castor informa que el viernes 8 de julio abrirรก sus puertas en forma parcial. Los medios de elevaciรณn que estarรกn habilitados son: A1 Telesilla del Bosque y dos Magic Carpets del sector principiante.

Asรญ mismo, las pistas habilitadas serรกn: El Cรณndor de 480 a base y las pistas del sector principiante: Castorcitos I y II. La prรณxima pista a abrir serรก Halcรณn Peregrino de 480 a base en los dรญas siguientes.

Se esperan mรกs nevadas para esta semana lo que nos permitirรก evaluar la apertura de mรกs pistas y medios de elevaciรณn.

Las bajas temperaturas nos posibilitan continuar con la fabricaciรณn de nieve inducida por los caรฑones.

Debido a esta situaciรณn, comunicamos que el pase Castor Mayor tendrรก un valor diario de $300 (pesos trescientos) y Castor Menor de $210 (pesos doscientos diez). Los pases se emitirรกn por dรญa รบnicamente hasta tanto se normalice la situaciรณn en la montaรฑa.

Esperamos que sea una gran temporada para todos los esquiadores y visitantes en el centro de esquรญ mรกs austral del mundo .” – Cerro Castor, today
