Ah the Suzuki Fun, the typical hire car here in Argentina it seems.
we manage to stuff all our stuff in the car and head off down Route 40 to Las Lenas.
Beautiful long stretches of flat open land on either side, this really is the wild west!
Las Lenas is the exclusive resort in Argentina or little US as some might call it.
A very popular resort for the wealthy Argentines and foreigners to visit.
Also seen as the best ski area in Argentina.
That being the case - it means its too expensive for us to stay so we choose to stay at Los Molles - about a 1/2 hour drive down the road.
We stayed at a small hostel - Refugio Pire, a family run gueshouse...very basic and cold - but very welcoming.
Also seems to be the place for all the other locals coming to cook their meat on the fire here.
head up to Las Lenas for a look in the morning.
Lucky us...beautiful day and Marte lift is open.
hasnt been much snow recently but all the lifts are open and the views are spectacular.
We take a good look round and have access to some of the wicked lines Las Lenas has to offer.
finish off with a Quillmes at Innsbruck....
Next day...flat light - better day to discover the surrounding area...
