And the snow came

I got some serious demands to write also in English so here I go.

Right now I´m in Las Leñas, Argentina, doing the same than the previous week: waiting. First, it didn´t snow and the skiing was bad. Then on last Thursday it started to snow and it hasn´t really stopped. Also the wind is amazing, I could hardly sleep last night because of it. No, I wasn´t sleeping outside but it´s just so noisy when wind blows. What this storm means, is that we´re waiting again.

Luckily we don´t have any skipass for a longer period so our only worry is to think what to do during the days. It´s not easy here, I can tell. First we stayed some 70 kilometers from here, in Malargue, which is a really slowgoing village. We got bored spending time there and tired coming here when it started to snow. The trip to here took more than 2 hours per direction. So yesterday we moved to a even smaller village called Los Molles, which is 20 km from here. I don´t know if you can even call it a village because there are not many houses. It means there´s even less to do. We are staying in a little refugio and which is a really nice hostel-style place. Weather forecast now shows that there would be 1,2 meters more snow on the top during the next couple of days. And by now, there must be already 1,5 meters new snow. So when the day comes and the storm ends, it´ll probably be amazing with this snow. At least after a week waiting that is what I hope. I still have a bit over week to stay here so hopefully that will happen before my leaving. If not, I guess I have to ask Johanna to bring also skis and then the nature of our trip will change a bit.

Just minutes ago I received a message from my roommate Markus that he´s sending the rest of my stuff to Buenos Aires. That´s how I don´t have to go to Santiago anymore and I can concentrate on storm-ending meditation. Thanks Markus, I owe you one sending of backpack and other stuff to 1500 km away. So if you have that kind of needs, let me know.
