Jonathan R

I skied here for 3 days in early Sept, it was my first visit to South America. The skiing was great and the snow conditions were good even in warmer weather (40s F), there was minimal ice in the mornings and only on a couple runs in the afternoon. The scenery is amazing, the mountains look at least as big as Colorado even though the base elevation is lower. Another really good plus (especially on the higher runs up the mountain) is that there are very few people and you feel like you have the mountain to yourself. This is especially true during the weekday. The ski area doesn't have much else at the base of the mountain but most people are going to stay in Ushuaia which is about a 30 min transfer away, and this has all of the typical amenities of a smaller ski town as well as some great adventure tours. Another plus is that you can usually find staff that speaks English so if you do not know Spanish that well this shouldn't be an obstacle. I would also say the ski area provided a good value if you plan to say 3-5 days. Beyond that and you might get bored because you would have already done most of the terrain.
