    Las Lenas - First dump of the year!

    Just received an email:

    "This is A BREAKING SNOW REPORT FROM Dan Griffith with Las Lenas Vacations. THE FIRST MAJOR SNOWSTORM HAS HIT LAS LENAS, ARGENTINA -- DUMPING 16 INCHES AT THE BASE AND OVER 2 FEET AT THE SUMMIT."

    seriously, i do NOT need to spend more money on skiing right now, but now that you put the thought in my head, who wants to get a bunch of maggots together and fill said chopper?

    I expect to hear on it any day now with the details for a possible story in a kinda well-known magazine.
    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........

    Dan's full of shit unfortunately. It snowed about 2 inches yesterday at the base and melted that afternoon.

    Splat, keep me posted. The thought of a heli in the Andes conjures up many good images. As long as the winds aren't blowing that is! For some imagery, here is a shot from the top of Cerro Martin to the north, see any options?
