Hi everybody July-Aug 2010

Hello everybody,
not much time to updated blog lately due guiding season, I think to get updates, please,
check the lower right corner and-or get into
our facebook page where we post updates more often (short and easier)

In general , the main things that happen so far were-
- Skied with Greg Hill, who have to do 2.000.000 vertical feet in a year, we explored Cerro Padre Laguna, that was skied before by Shannie and Jamie Schectman and then us (never heard of other descents), will post some pics below...



- Helped Mark Abma and the SASS crew to go and buy materials to build a mini-Biodiesel factory, so we will do it at home and Andescross soon! Excited by this project, seems easy and healthy

Mark Abma working hard...


- and another very nice thing is that we got and article about Skiing Crater of Volcan Puyehue in 2009 with Eric Hjorleifson, Chris Rubens, Mark Abma and the Rockymountainsherpas.com (Dave, Malcolm, Nate Nash)
check pics....

New ski trip for 2010- Skiing at the End of the World!




Skiing at the End of the World, The Island Of Tierra del Fuego, Ushuaia, Argentina
Dates:
4- 10 July 2010
9-15 August 2010
18-25 September 2010
End of the season date October 16- 21 2010
Custom trips available as well, email us @ info@andescross.com

The skiing in Ushuaia is amazing!
Ushuaia,Tierra del Fuego reminds some of Alaska. Both are extreme in latitude and steeps!
Meet the steeps at the Southern End of the World – Easy access to couloirs/chutes, glacier terrain, and beautiful mountain summits. The Andes of this area are rugged mountains that have a dramatic sharpness right into the ocean.
The Land of Fire is a paradise for ski mountaineering. The area also offers mellow bowls and options for all levels of ski experience. It is also possible to do multi-day trips in the backcountry, but the access from town is so friendly that it is more convenient to do daily trips. Enjoy downhill backcountry skiing and uphill ski mountaineering day by day, and return to a warm and cozy hotel every night during your vacation!
