Are you guys freaked out about this at all?  South America is getting record early season snowfall this year.  Ski resorts are going to start opening this weekend down there and the conditions aren’t going to be bad.  Oh, yeah, and one ski resort, a good one, El Colorado, is already open…

In other words, you could get on a plane tomorrow and be skiing by Thursday in a crazy cool country south of the border.  That should be enough to freak you out even if you have no intention of going…

Las Lenas ski resort in Argentina is claiming 70cms (28 inches) of snow so far this fall on the summit.  

SOUTH AMERICAN SKI RESORT OPENING DATES:

El Colorado, Chile = June 6th (yeah, already open…)

Antillanca, Chile = June 12th

La Parva, Chile = June 13th

Corralco-Lonquimay, Chile = June 14th

Las Lenas, Argentina = June 20th
