Well, I couldn't go even if I wanted to. What happened in the last few days shows up how quick the situation can change down there. I've been seeing some great stuff from Bariloche and Las Lenas. I presume the skiing is pretty good at many places and they is other snow reported. I haven't look at the forecast, but there was also talk for another warm spell.
Part of the Andes is real good now, but there is always a factor of rolling the dice when you head down. You have to be flexible in location and be ready to move. You also have to keep your expectations in check, because many things can go wrong, regardless of the snow conditions.
