Las Lenas, Argentina is having the season that so many people have dreamed about for so long. It’s been a bit windy and stormy this year (read: Marte closed, there are no trees here, white out, basically staying home and not skiing) but some long time locals are saying it’s the best season since 2011.It’s been snowing for 3 days or so, then clearing up for a week or so. This is the perfect pattern for Lenas because you need those clear days to settle the avalanche danger and get deep into the incredible backcountry there.

Bariloche, Argentina Conditions Report: Powder Tornado

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.
