My buddy Rob and I decided to head down to Argentina to continue our chase of pow.
Despite the warnings of low snow, which were true.
The snow gods blessed us with a blanket of fresh pow to work with for a couple weeks.
The low snow fall in the Andes made for some interesting skiing.
Las Lenas has some of the most jagged and rugged looking mountains I have ever seen.
Theres a couple of the main peaks behind the ski resort that got our attention immediately .
After a couple down days, bbqs, and chillin the snow began to fall.
We woke up to sunny skies and headed straight to the chair.
The first pow day we were on a mission to get as many laps in as possible.
Fresh couloir, after fresh couloir.
Bob and I felt like we were on top of the world.
One of my best days skiing on a resort.
A really cool peak Torrecillas was at the top of our list.
Nick named the Monks fingers.
The snow was banger and the sun was shining.
Couldn’t ask for much more!
I picked up what the locals call the bible of Las Lenas, the Thomas Maps.
I hope to add to this book in years to come.
The last big hike we did was up Entire Rios down a steep couloir named Leucemia.
