By the last week of August we found ourselves in a mini snow drought in Las Lenas. Worse still the temperatures had risen dramatically and the winds were up. Days were being spent getting up early and getting in some fun slush runs and then heading home before the mountain turned into cascading water with terrible dust storms that raged up the valleys. Still it was pleasant enough to sit out in the sun of an afternoon, sheltered by our house from the worst of the wind and down a few cold cervezas sitting in shorts and t-shirts.

El año pasado estuvimos en Copahue y anduvimos recorriendo un poco la zona, pero queríamos ver más, aprovechar las caminatas en ese ambiente completamente natural, lejos del ruido y la muchedumbre de la ciudad...
