As a result of an exceptionally snowy September, the resort had already announced one extensionโ€”to October 15th.

Cerro Catedral is South Americaโ€™s largest ski area, 12 miles from San Carlos de Bariloche. It is inside the Nahuel Huapรญ National Park in Patagonia, Argentina.

According to Wikipedia, it is one of the most important ski resorts in South America and the Southern Hemisphere, with a skiable area of 6 km2 (2.3 sq mi), 120 km (75 mi) of ski runs, and a lift capacity of 35,000 skiers per hour across 33 lifts. It is also popular due to the views of the Nahuel Huapi Lake. There are also a number of hotels and hostels at the foot of the mountain, and a summer hikersโ€™ hut called Refugio Lynch on one of the tops of the mountain.

During the summer, the Refugio Frey and camping accommodate trekkers and rock climbers next to Tonฤek lagoon, near the Torre Principal, Catedralโ€™s highest point.
