Rain Delay

The heavy rain continues down low as the big snowfall continues up top…after making our way up to Cerro Catedral to wait out a possible lift opening, we cancelled the day’s shred after ‘the lift operations chief’ declared it a wrap.

We hopped back in the car, found some standing water for a few photo opportune splashings, then proceeded to Gilberts for a hearty meal. Once the bellies were full, we hit the loop around Lago Moreno for a bit of sight seeing. Even though the weather was damp (to say the least), we enjoyed every beautiful moment this part of Argentina has to offer.

Once back at the SASS compound, the night was filled with what’s becoming an evening ritual for us…the futbol challenge. Take a small kitchen and an even smaller living room packed with five snowboarder’s bags and set up targets for endless amounts of entertainment and laughter. Yesterday Corey claimed the crown, but today Jeremy came through with some key victories (2 of 3 rounds).

We’re hitting the hay in hopes of one last powder day before we depart on Friday…they’re calling for 5cm (2 inches) of rain at the base, so we’ll see what that means from midway up (a lot of new snow!)…if the lifts can open we’ll shred it…Blotto
