Hello! Nice Forum!
I am an expert, backcountry enthusiast from Alaska.
I am headed down to Las Lenas and to Bariloche in a couple of weeks.
I rode Bariloche as part of a long trip around S.A. last summer, this year I am bringing my own equipment for a more focused snowboard trip.
I have about a week and a half in each location. I already have a good idea of where to go in Bariloche for some backcountry excursions, but I have had a lot of trouble finding any legitamate information about Las Lenas. (it seems that everyone online wants to sell a trip package without offering any usefull information).
Lifts are fun and all, but I was hoping to ride mostly off piste, I was wondering what the Las Lenas area has to offer in this department, I have read about cat trips and I would like to know where they go so that I can hike to theses places. Are there any huts in the Las Lenas area?
Also: what is the lodging like near LL? is it all resorts? are there any places to stay for less than $20 USD a night?
Thanks!
