On the plane ready for takeoff for trip back home. Passport checked 5 times, wait, no, 6. I've been swabbed and checked and checked again.
Ok, the road up to valle nevado is a true mtn road. 62 switchbacks, one way with quite heavy traffic. The van had to back up at one point to make the tight turn.
Now for skiing. Snow is not plentiful. Lots of dirt showing, mostly on piste skiing, warm, beautiful, weather. With that said, the snow that was there, was good. Two quad chairs, a couple palmas were those in play. One loooooong Palma led to a good run or perhaps it was just good to get off the platter seat after that long ride. After 5 good days, the warm weather took care of most of the snow and really only one run was skiable. The people checking in this week are not getting much skiing in.
We met some good skiers and 22 fun people. It was a good time. Pics to come.
