Final Destination

As we begin the snow season the inevitable arrival of summer may be the furthest thing on your mind. However, if you're looking for endless powder turns now is the time to start planning your summer adventures. Argentina has long been the summer haven for North American shreds looking to get their fix for powder. As with much of South America getting there is an adventure in itself. Whether you choose the famous slopes of Las Lenas, the multiple peaks of Cerro Catedral, or the newly established Cerro Castor travel days will definitely be on the agenda and probably the fodder for some great storytelling. Extremely favorable exchange rates enable more extended stays and a greater chance of scoring some amazing summer pow. If this Ben Girardi pic of his wife, Jen, in Cerro Bayo has you dreaming of year-round turns.... now is the time to plan.
