I recently got a new job that allow me 2 at least 2 weeks off a month, more if can find somebody to cover my shift. And it also provides me with the means to travel ($$$$)
So with my newfound wealth, I was thinking Las Lenas.
I was wondering what the best times to go were, places to stay, expenses, nightlife...... and so on.
Anybodys experiences would be greatly appreciated also.
I work with a guy from there.
PM me on Thursday and I will give you my email and get you the right info. There is more to Argentina than Las Lenas too, he has the hook ups and the good info.
i would kill to go to s.am to ski....
how cheaply can this be done?
(ie renting a van and sleeping in it, or something like that? hostels?)
I was in Lenas when it was the absolute shittiest of shitty winters and all I have to say is this...sell your first born if you have to. And yes there are other sweet places in Argentina. But Lenas...it's...well...Lenas...
Working on the slope eh?
Seriously though exactly what jobs allows two weeks off every month??
probably some type of sea voyage type thing. Or a high-risk construction/engineering job.
Could I get in on that as well for my buddy who is planning a trip to Argentina for a couple of months in July 2005. If I get her some good info I may be able to blag a free place to stay!Quote:

You are required to wear a full tyvex suit and chainmail to even enter the slope as the bears are all high and trying to get a hit.
August through early September is what I'd shoot for. But again, it's SA so nothing is reliable. They've had winters off the charts and then there are those in which they were never able to open.
Best storms this year were early august and early september. And if for some reason it's dicey with conditions, Argentina/Chile are fantastic countries to explore. So trick is to be mobile.
There's lots of them out there especially in the mining industry. I worked at a gold/copper mine in northern BC for 4 years-2 weeks on 2weeks off.Quote:
