Big Snow Little Chairlift

The 'rain delay' turned into 'colder temps' and we received 45cm (1.5 feet) of new snow at the base of the mountain. Higher up on the hill they were claiming at least 2 meters (6.5 feet), but avalanche conditions are through the roof, so we were only able to access two of the lower chairs. The rest of the resort is closed until the lifties shovel out the lift stations and patrol deems the slopes safe.

 

For our final day at Cerro Catedral all this new snow was super fun to enjoy, even though it was only a very small part of the mountain. We slashed some deep powder, shoveled up a couple of jumps and finished off the trip with a lot of high-fives! 

 

Our Argentine visit is complete and we leave super satisfied with the good times and great riding. I'm off to AZ for a bit of fam time, then I'll prepare for a quick trip to Saas Fee to complete this Burton catalog we're working on. Cheers people! Blotto
