Holding Pattern: Wind holds, low visibility and a wind-affected surface have made for a tough week of sitting around.

    Sounds like a typical July @ Las Lenas.

    If you think a week of sitting around is tough, anxious to hear your thoughts as the dangling continues.
    FYI, last season had a 40 day stretch where it was only open for one afternoon, 3 hours.

    Peter Long-
    I was just talking to some guys down here about that stretch last season. Sounds like it was a rough one.

    Before I booked my flights to SA my buddies in Squaw Valley told me one thing. If you are going down to South America to ski make sure you give yourself plenty of time.

    Tim, your friends speak the truth. Argentines only do 3 things fast. Talk, drive, and put the bar down. Everything else is a big dangle.

    Bet you find it hard to believe after skiing at Las Leñas, but Squaw’s management looks good. Maybe Alex will resurface in LL for his next life?
