SANTA ROSA = > early September

Pull the trigger and join us! September is typically one of the better months, normally starts off with a storm sometime during the first 10 days or so, then enters an incredible corn cycle- plus it's low season so prices are more attractive and plus the snow pack should stablize for schweet touring options. re: The Broken shoulder- right, Kellie!

Skis more like late March for NA, but snow does can have a tendancy to be inconsistant like the rest of the Southern Hemisphere.

edit: I foresee Captain Hop making many ladie friends at the clubs if he shows up like Baker closing day (and with his corn dog)

edit2: catredal today looks reaaaaaaaal gooooood!

Sorry, but this is pure rumor. I spoke to the mt manager at las lenas this afternoon, 75 cm up top, 25cm down low. That storm never hit them.

My dad, myself, and maybe a friend of mine are planning on going back again in august sometime(probably early). I'm gonna email Lance to see what he's up to.

just got an email from a friend who lives very close to Termas de Chillan....

"...It's strange, we just bought and built our place here last year and in May of 2004 there was no snow here....right now we can't even leave our house, we're in the middle of a snowstorm like I've never seen before.....the snow here at our cabins is about 18 to 20 inches , about 1/2 meter, deep and still snowing..."

it could be double that up in the mountains!

I was wrong. Just got this email this am from Las Lenas Mt Manager.

Yesterday 150 cm in base and close to 3m on top. Cold snow so we will see how it packs out. I should go to LL next week and check out those new pow skis.

From the Catedral website:

Dos metros de nieve en la cima del catedral



I don't know Spanish, but I think they're talking about 2 metres of snow?

Anyway - my tickets are booked. Flying into Buenos Aires on Aug 15, leaving via Santiago on Sept 3. Will definitely be spending time in Bariloche/Catedral (possibly doing a ski ascent of Mt. Tronador), and hoping to get to Las Lenas as well.

Thinking back to those maps I had in Mammoth, eh?

Pics look great! Can't wait to see what Lenas looks like. Here's the live cam from Catredral.
