Do they have snow in July in South American? I DON'T THINK SO but I've never been.
How was the BBQ?
Bariloche, Argentina
Las Lenas, Argentina
Portillo, Chile
Termas De Chillan, Chile
Valle Nevado, Chile
Not cheap, mind you. There are also resorts in Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia. But the luxury ones are all in Argentina and Chile as is the best powder. The season is from June to around the end of September the first week of October. But if you can imagine boarding a plane at JFK in 103 degree weather in the middle of August, and disembarking in frigid weather and heading for the slopes . . . I DID IT IN 1988. It was number 26 on my Bucket List. Thank G-d, I was religious about doing one from my list (which I started in Junior High School) every couple of years.
The BBQ was such fun. Doggies, doggies everywhere! Well behaved doggies, too, that is until the boomers started! We all got soaked, well-fed, duly inebriated and ended up with sore jaws from all the laughing. There was enough food for a small invading army; hamburgers, Kosher hot dogs, Italian sausage, marinated chicken breasts, dried lamb lung, salads, Key Lime pies, ice cream sammies with whipped cream and cherries, soft drinks, hard drinks, beer, and, of course, all the fixins! Oh, yeah, the dried lamb lungs were exclusively for the doggies.
