This will be a mountain which you will return to many times throughout your life, because it just does not get any better! Las Lenas has it all, from chutes to bowls, big walls, tight couloirs, and for sure some of the silkiest corn snow I have ever skied in the world (not to mention the monstrous dumps which roll in from the Atlantic, such as the famous "Santa Rosa" storm, dropping 3-4 meters before it is said and done!!!
Endless Turns will have you yearning for more and Las Lenas has some of the most consistent pitches anywhere. Just off the Martes lift, we will ski/snowboard 4,000-5,000 foot shots. Trust me when I say it, "your legs will give out before the pitch does"!
Not just the skiing in Lenas is amazing, they have discotheques like no other! You can dance and party the night away at UFO Point and the Corona Club. For those of you who like placing a few bets, the Piscis Hotel has its own casino and the numerous restaurants in the area will keep your mouth salivating.
