Argentina isn’t open to foreign travel yet, nor are its ski areas open, but that won’t stop these locals from Andescross from getting turns in.

This video was shot in the backcountry of the Andean ski hub of San Carlos de Bariloche in Argentina on July 1. What a season in terms of snowfall they’ve been having already despite the lack of open resorts!
