North Argentina Excursion Summer 2014

NorthArgentina-ec

One of the more remote mountains in the Andes, Las Lenas offers some of the most untouched terrain in the Upside-down Summer. Add a stop through Mendoza, and you’re looking at a full bodied South American excursion.

Nobody searches out the “Neversummer” like our crew at OvRride, so you can be sure we’re putting together a mix of the best the summer snow has to offer. It’s Summer Upside-down!!!

With more lift-serviced ski terrain than any other ski area in the Western Hemisphere, the gigantic ski resort of Las Lenas is aptly described in one simple statement – on a clear day, you can ski forever. Don’t miss this epic excursion!

Lodging 

We arrive in Mendoza on Saturday and check into the Peatonal Sarmiento district where we’ll be staying while in the city. This is our chance to check out the local atmosphere, absorb the local culture, and tour a proper Mendoza vineyard for one of the regions best wine tours.

While in Las Lenas we’ll be staying at some of the best local lodging, the Hotel Escorpio. All breakfasts during our stay are included and you’ll be conveniently located a short walk from the lift. Since the Las Lenas on-mountain amenities and “inhabited area” spans a small distance, there’s not much you won’t be far from.

Get ready for a big mountain summer snow experience! Just make sure to save your legs, we’ll be on snow in the EPIC ANDES 6 days straight…

Las Lenas boasts some of the most available skiable and rideable terrain in South America, more than Jackson Hole, and more than Whistler/Blackcomb. If you combine Vail and Snowbird, then remove all the lifts that parallel each other, you’d have a fair representation of Las Leñas.
