more pics from the past week
One more update from Las Lenas. It has been an awesome couple of weeks here. Temps are now soaring to about 15C and corn skiing has arrived. Lots of the last storm has started to melt away, but still decent skiing to be had off the Marte lift and touring higher. Yesterday hiked to top of Cerro Martin and found a difficult bounty of loose granular chop and roller balls, creating a fun, yet dizzying adventure through sluff on the adjacent 50 degree chutes. Edgeable windbuff with an inch or two on top would best describe it. Later headed out toward Sans Noms and carved up some smmoooove corn. Unfortunately, the road had melted out so we had a fun 1 hour walk back to al centro in our ski boots.
A few more pics from the trip here:

Spats entering Hourglass. I was crapping in my pants taking this shot as I was holstered between the cliffs edge and impending chute below. Trippie, for sure!

And here we are trying to get anyone to stop and pick us up for a return trip to the base. Fortunately, the school bus showed up and we were all provided with a huge blast of stoke to carry forward to the upcoming season.
