Tuesday evening, Las Leñas received a completely un-forecasted mini-dump. It snowed HARD for a few hours, and we ended up with about 6 inches of fresh snow on the mountain.
This light dusting just barely hid a lot of the sharks, and made for some classic dust on crust conditions. But, a Marte powder day is a Marte powder day, and there were a few really great turns out there. This snow fall was just what we all needed to keep us satisfied until the next storm arrives.
It looks like that next storm will be hitting us next week: Tuesday the 14th through Thursday the 16th. It is shaping up to be a big one – over 50cm forecasted up top. It’s still a week off, so far too early to be counting on it, but it certainly looks promising.

Rodrigo y Gabriela, nice…great skiing too
Sick!!
At 6 inches, maybe it deserves a “fluff on tuff” rating?
So Im board as a mother fucker right now and have been waiting for another post for like a day now. WTF is up with this?
Looks like L.L. is going into a cycle thru the end of the month, the place is going to get super filled in by September….
There’s snow in the forecast for this Tuesday-Wednesday, but we’ll see. Theres not much powder to be found at the moment, but the skiing is fine. Just have to work for it a little.
I dont know about snow at the end of the month, but I hope so. Predicting conditions in the Andes three weeks ahead is really a gamble.
Just a hobbby but I have a minor in meteorology. Model solution has changed still shows a progressive pattern but not as many storms, still looks like a decent end to August. Just a prediction like you said in one of the craziest places in the world weather wise the Andes. Not worried about pow I wont be there until mid September, hoping for some sick lines….
Hey Lee. Its back to showing a train of storms again…August is going to end fat…….
This makes me very happy. Fingers crossed, I hope you’re right!
