Due amount of ash in the air from the Chilean volcanic eruption, the flights here from Buenos Aires are regularly being cancelled. But luckily we made it back to Ushuaia without any problems and headed straight for our spot on the mountain! You couldn't really ask for anything more; amazing scenery, great rustic little house and only minutes from the hill.
I think we mentioned earlier, that coming down here wasn't just for a few weeks of freeskiing. Our main reason was to come and help out the Argentine ski team prepare for the upcoming southern hemisphere winter race season. It has been great to get back on snow and into the ski racing mode. More than that it has been great to spend some time with the ultra friendly Simari-Birkner clan.
Frosty afternoon with the sun at its highest point of the day.
Everywhere you look around Cerro Castor is picture perfect
