August 2018
We were lucky .
For multiple reasons, not just coming back in one piece .
We had perfect weather 3 out of 4 days .
This is third time that I have been there , yet is the first time that I could appreciate so well the incredible lakes and mountains views .
Despite being the “worst” year as far as snowfall – We had snow conditions exactly like the Haute Route ( despite the fact that the Alps had tons of snow and the Andes barely …)
Essentially – variable conditions .
And we got to ski pretty much all what’s skiable_ _.
The terrain that had no snow – having skied it before – it’s nothing to write home about it .
We got to ski tour a truly back country area , driving on a crazy narrow mountain dirt road with a very skilled driver in a Land Rover Defender .
There were very few powder days – but we got to ski one of those !
We had not one , but 3 cool guides .
The food was delicious , and the wines – we got to drink one of the two percent best wines .
The lake view from the hotel was awesome , the pool was super cool and the massages amazing and the peso devalued at the beginning of August and even more when we were there – making all dirt cheap.
We had a cool stroll in Buenos Aires , and none of the flights were delayed .
So we were lucky !
Thanks Jorge Kozuliy (Main Argentinian guide )
We had Shel, Joe, David , Rob and Alon
