Snow Report: Ushuaia, Argentina

Once again following the policy of better late than never...

About three weeks ago I finally took advantage of the fact that it is winter in Argentina and got in some very ski-specific summer training:

The glacier.



"If you're a beginner, turn here."



The Beagle Channel.



Snowing too hard to see the mountains.




Turns out a Bates skier, Sam Evans-Brown, had been hanging out in Ushuaia training, but left the day before I got there. I did manage to end up on a shuttle with the Canadian men's alpine team though.
