I dug up my iPod from my ski bag last night so the 30 minutes up the mountain from San Martin to Chapelco was a big sing-along fest. Once we got there, it was a little gray, and the mountain didn’t seem that big, and a little boring – not much mountain to speak of, more like a big hill. But, what the heck, lets make the best of it!<\/p>\n

\n
\n\"\"<\/a>We went straight to the top, and the first run down was in snow blizzard. The snow felt awesome under our feet, a few inches of fresh powder, but I get emotion sick when I don’t have a point of reference to concentrate my eyes on, and it feels like you are going super fast while you are standing still, so the first run was not that great. I did not have to whine for very long before we found the trees. <\/div>\n
\n
\n\"\"<\/a>The tree runs were beautiful! All by ourselves, fresh tracks, reference points, rocks and small drops, a huge playground!<\/div>\n
\n
\n\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a>Another great day of skiing, and we didn’t have to hike!<\/div>\n
\nAround 3:30pm, and 6 hours of skiing, I think we all had a couple of more runs in us but we decided to call it a day as we were heading further south, to Bariloche. We had a map over the roads in Argentina and they were all color coded, green means stay away, red means a well maintained road that is hopefully paved. It’s a little backwards, but we are in the southern hemisphere so green means stop and red means ok go! <\/div>\n
\nWe picked a road that was red on our map, we didn’t drive very far until we had to stop.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\nThen a couple of miles later it turned into a dirt road.<\/div>\n
\n

\"\"<\/a>That soon turned into a mud road! Great, we only had 100km to go!<\/div>\n

\n
\n\"\"<\/a>There were a short moment when I thought we might have made a wrong turn somewhere, but we kept on meeting other cars and trucks and we eventually, after a couple of hours made our way to San Carlos de Bariloche. <\/div>\n
\nWe checked in at a hostel that was located on the 10th floor with great views over the city. A Swedish girl was working in the reception and recommended we go check out an italian restaurant down the road. It was packed when we got there and a 45 minute wait to get a table, so we reserved a table for tomorrow instead and tumbled into a stake house instead. They also had a 45 minute wait to get a table, but happen to have a good wine cellar with a bar where we patiently waited. <\/div>\n
\n
\n\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a>It was closer to 11pm when we got our food, but it was well worth the wait!<\/div>\n
\n
\n\"\"<\/a>Bariloche has a few casinos, one was on our way home. I’m not much of a gambler, but Magnus loves casinos and while the guys were debating whether we should go in or not, I took the initiative and walked through the door. The rest did not hesitate and walked straight to a black jack table. I watched them loose some monies for a while before one of them gave me 100 pesos and told me to sit down and play with them. One drink and a bunch of high fives later I had doubled the pesos and it was time to check out! <\/div>\n
