^ Awesome stuff. Thanks.
Agreed.
Though I'm curious... was this near Mendoza, or Las Lenas? They're like 400km apart...
Damn. I want to watch it but YouTube keeps telling me it’s unavailable.
No shit. I was thinking it was going to have a winery tour.Quote:

Post up some more, please.
We started out heading up towards Aconcagua but the snow was quite sparse (not even the lifts at the small ski fields were running) so we headed back down to the city and then on to Las Lenas. From there we stayed in Los Molles where did several tours around the area including out from the top lift in Las Lenas on Cerro Torrecillas which are the prominent spires in the video. We also did a few tours on Cerro Las Lenas itself which is opposite the resort. We did a lot more in region near a place called Cajon Grande (which has natural hotpools!) but that is in the next video which I will post up with a report soon.
Ah, I misunderstood. Carry on.
Norse did you guys ski down there?Quote:

Scoped Cerro Catedral, Las Lenas, San Martin... fished the Alumine and a few lakes... etc. Want to return in winter.Quote:
