August 12th - 16th
The many tree lined streets of Mendoza. Great small city, just east of the Andes.

Leaving Las Leñas
August 5th - 11th
Well this is certainly the best area in South America. Long steeps, best snow, endless backcountry opportunities. Fully isolated resort surrounded by the mountains. Still everything moves slow, long nights for everyone has the lifts open in stages throughout the morning. Truly on Argentinean time.

Las Leñas
August 6th
Big mountain, mucha nieve. At least 250cm of fresh. Still we wait for top to be cleared...

Vineyards
August 1st
Small batch wine maker CarinaE just outside of Mendoza, which is Argentina's wine capital. Mostly malbecs all fed off the snow melt from the Andes.

Leaving Bariloche
July 31st
After 3 days straight of heavy rains in town, now heading north to Mendoza. 19 hours via bus. Will wait out a big storm and then backtrack to Las Leñas ski resort.

rain, rain, rain....
July 27-30th
Many diversions in Bariloche. You certainly do not find food or nightlife like this in Chile. Eat until 1am, then stay out until 5-7am every night.

Cerro Catedral
July 27th
The ski resort overlooking the lake town. Conditions are only ok, and the terrain hardly compares to Chillan.
