Cerro Catedral in Argentina announced yesterday that it would be extending its season through October 21st.
“IN CATHEDRAL THIS WINTER IS XXL. More ❄️, more days!
We extend the season until Saturday 21 October for you to enjoy a unique mountain experience 🙌⛷️”
As a result of an exceptionally snowy September, the resort had already announced one extension—to October 15th.
Cerro Catedral is South America’s largest ski area, 12 miles from San Carlos de Bariloche. It is inside the Nahuel Huapí 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 hikers’ 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 Tonček lagoon, near the Torre Principal, Catedral’s highest point.
