Thought I'd open it up to you guys if we fly.
The op is offering week-long trips, but I told them if they offered some 1-2 day flight packages, some friends might come along.
I'll post something when I hear more........

Martin is one popular dude in AR.
i see options...
Yeah, but Adrenalina is out of that shot. :biggrin:Quote:

Come on Powerball!
Yo, werd on the street is Las Leñas is going to have a heli this year. Is this what you are referring to. Bear in mind that everything in this country is subject to change and needs to be taken with a grain of sodium!Quote:

If it's anything like the set up at Portillo most of the time it'll be used to transport rich Brazilians/Chileans to "heli-lunch"
:nonono2:
I'll sniff around some more. So far I hear maybe more remote peaks, but alot of the stuff we hear ends up being not true.
"Did you hear about the guy who pulled the knife in Mr Hand's class"
wow, good them i'm broke. i wouldn'nt want to go there anyway :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
lemme go get a towel and clean of the sarcasm I dripped everywhere in frustration
4-5 feet of snow at the base as off this morning. Go to www.laslenas.com and go to live camera for a quick chubber!
