Las Leñas – Malarguë
For the French speaking people, the opening day of the “Las Lenas” ski resort was a live remake of the movie “Les bronzés font du ski”. That day was free for everybody so 14 buses of students from Mendoza showed up for this occasion with Mam and Dad outfits from the 70’s…sssoooo funny. Not to say the lifts are going pretty well with this decade. In other words, you could have been in Europe 30 years ago. No kidding. Our friend from Steamboat, Axel, who is working there in our “summer season” told us not to take one lift that is so old he find it dangerous.
We hadn’t our ski stuff with us so we composed with what we had. I ended up skiing in……jeans!!!!!Even the people in Fluo Killy suits were laughing.
At 489 Inches we close
Oh well, what to say… It was a S-N-O-W-Y winter!!!
Today, closing day for steamboat, we got up ready for a sunny spring day… but no, it was snowing again… 489 inches of wonderful snow fell on “The Boat” this winter! great!
now, we’re at home, we just had dinner and are ready to go celebrate this awesome winter. though, looking out and watching all this snow still falling makes me a bit sad, it’s a shame that business decisions rule everything…
well… in 7 days we’ll be in playa and next winter might be even better
Cheers Marco
