We hear that Los Penidentes is much cheaper and has had some good snow so we head back north via Mendoza.
The scenery on this drive changes alot as we head into the mountains on our way to Uspallata via Porterillos.
The colours of the mountains are amazing.
Arrive in Los Penidentes just in time for a storm to blow in...literally...its gale force winds going on here.
Lifts are closed - but its hopeful with some snow falling.
We stay at a small hostel - Don Gregario which is very cosy. Run by 2 local Mendoza guys who in the summer time are Aconcagua mountain guides...makes for some very interesting conversations.
Finally the storm lifts and we get to get out and check the resort out.
$50 for a lift pass is not too bad...and the top lift has access to some good stuff.
Peter of course always finds something...
Check out Puenta del Inca and that mammoth mountain Aconcagua 6962 m.
photos coming soon
epic landscape
