Las Lenas 2nd half of July--too early?
- Thread starter Staley

As South America's ski season limps into the home stretch:
Portillo 208 inches season snowfall, base 24-51 inches, today's high temp 68F :shock:
Las Lenas is once again rumored sketchy except at very highest elevations on TGR.
It's Sept. 9. If this were happening on Mar. 9 in the West or the Alps, there would be much moaning about what a disaster of a season. These seasons happen a lot more often down there.
