Argentina
What's in this Area?
Featured Descent
Mario Gully
Pick your way through the tight trees in the upper part of the drainage, and then you'll see it open up. If there is enough snow, there are pillow options aplenty straight down the gut. Venture left or right and the drops get bigger, up to about 20 feet if you're feeling good.
At the bottom of the gully, don't miss the skin track that cuts left underneath the east-facing parts of the Terrain Park. Follow this all the way back to the Dream Lake trail (Don't drop in thinking it'll take you back to your car, it won't).
[more]Details
Argentina is a big place, with a lot of skiing opportunities. There are ski areas, as well as backcountry 'refugios' that are similar to the hut systems we have in the United States. These refugios often have stoves, cooking supplies, and beds, but you must supply your own food and sleeping bags. The terrain is varied, but generally trending towards bigger lines with steeper aspects.
How to Get There
Bariloche is a superb location for starting your South American backcountry ski trip. Transportation to and from there is relatively easy, and you can find guides, maps, and gear in town. You will want to secure your own transportation, and it will be helpful if you come with your gear.
