plans change




Hey all,

We are here in Esquel, hanging out at this little hostel with other fellow snowboarders (Angie, the tele skier, is currently out numbered). Our plans for staying at Refugio Frey in Bariloche were shot down when new snow on an already unstable layer made avy conditions too high...all backcountry travel was not advised for the next few days (and more snow in the forecast). We'll try La Hoya in the morning. We have heard that there is good powder there at the moment. Esquel seems to be a cool town so far...pretty small and laid back. There is a climbing wall at this hostel...and pictures of the local skate crowd. Argentina...this is your last chance to prove that your snow is all people say it is. Don't let us down!


Top image is the drainage we were suppossed to skin up to get to refugio Frey, so sad to just pass it by on the bus. the other images are us in our hostel in Bariloche trying to figure out what to do next....
