Powder Triangle, really

When Casa Tours takes you on an August adventure in Argentina to ski the Powder Triangle, be ready. They aren't kidding.

Saturday's high winds (clocked at 150 kilometers) kept us off the slopes at Cerro Catedral, but no worries. These folks know how to have fun and with a few phone calls, a kayak adventure was arranged on Lago Guiterrez with Tuffi a guide with Puravida Patagonia.

Back to the slopes on Sunday to find fresh powder ready for us to write our name.

Craig Ross, our Guia de Montagne, started off the morning strapping avalanche beacons on us. We're respectful of these mountains and follow our guides instructions without question.

On the top of the mountain there was so much snow that we think one of these lads lost a ski and the rest of the gang were digging around trying to help him find it.



The snow continued and the story does too. Stay tuned. I'll have more when my internet connection allows.
