Bariloche, Argentina Conditions Report: Powder Tornado Catedral ski resort in Bariloche, Argentina got 12-20″ of snow last night. We woke up to snow all over in town. It doesn’t snow in town very often. A couple times per year, tops. We knew it was going to be a great day on the hill. The upper mountain was covered in 12-20″ of absolute blower snow. The freezing level was somewhere around sea level last night creating uber dry faceshot producing snow all over the mountain. Nubes was closed all day due to wind which left the entirely of Nubes to the hiking crowd. On our first run, one of our crew triggered a small avalanche that took him for a ride. Be smart out there.

Bariloche, Argentina Conditions Report: Today was the Day Today, was a spectacular day at Catedral ski resort in Bariloche, Argentina. It was our second splendiferous day in a week since last Monday was brilliant. The day started with 4-10″ of new snow on top of a crunchy/hard layer and dense fog up top. We feared the day would be a wash with great snow and no visibility. After hiking Nubes three times and getting some terrible visibility and some OK visibility, the sun finally popped and the Nubes chair opened up. We ripped two high speed laps on the Nubes chair that were absolutely amazing. Full speed, slashing turns, laughing, hitting […] Conditions Report Miles Clark | August 10, 2015 1 Comment
