This summer, as the days were getting longer and temperatures higher, I found myself longing to get away from the scorching heat in Whistler, BC. Perhaps an adventure in Argentina?<\/p>\n<p>Traveling to the other side of the world to chase winter can be a roll of the dice. This August was low tide in Argentina, with storms not delivering the goods. However, things can change quickly in Patagonia. When I saw a storm lining up in the forecast, I pulled the trigger and booked a trip to Bariloche to meet up with local legend, Mauri Cambilla, and photographer, Ben Girardi.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_828\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-828\" style=\"width: 1600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-828 size-full\" title=\"Arucaria sunset.

A ridiculous amount of beef slow-cooked while we talked about our options. With our stomachs full of incredible Argentinian beef and teeth stained red from delicious Malbec, our spirits were high even though the snowpack was low. Mauri suggested we head north to a town called Caviahue. Caviahue is nestled in the middle of the Andes and known for its amazing terrain and heavy snowfalls. If anywhere in the country was holding snow, we would find it there. With the forecast calling for snow, it was the best option.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_825\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-825\" style=\"width: 1600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-825 size-full\" title=\"Driving into the storm.

After six hours of driving, we made our final climb into the mountains. As we arrive in Caviahue, the wind howled and the sky darkened as rain fell in sheets. Caviahue was very evidently a ski town. We passed driveways filled with 4&#215;4\u2019s, snowmobiles and crazy looking snowcats as we pulled up to our home away from home. We rushed inside to get out of the storm. The wind was blowing so hard that cracks in the windows whistled as if it was a recorder that Pachamama was learning to play.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_827\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-827\" style=\"width: 1600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-827 size-full\" title=\"Adventuremobile in Cavihavue.

As soon as we pulled into the parking lot, we knew that we needed a \u201cplan c\u201d.

The ash and steam had melted what little snow had fallen, forcing the upper lifts to close. With little to no snow covering the mountain, one magic carpet was still spinning. It serviced a handful of either very brave or blissfully ignorant beginner skiers and snowboarders just trying to stay alive as they navigated around patches of rock and grass on the small icy slope.<\/p>\n<p>Out of the corner of my eye, I spotted a face of a mountain relatively close by that seemed to be holding snow. While it was most likely going to make for average riding at best, Ben and I decided it was worth it to go exploring. With no other plans and not much to lose, we strapped our boards to our packs and set out for a little adventure boarding. We had about a 1000-meter elevation gain and a small creek to cross to get to our objective. It seemed like an achievable goal.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_845\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-845\" style=\"width: 1600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-845 size-full\" title=\"Earn your turns.

Photo Courtesy: Ben Girardi &#8211; Adventure in Argentina<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Winding our way through the prehistoric forest filled with magical araucaria trees, we searched for a place to cross the creek. As we got closer, the creek began looking much more like a river. Proving a little more difficult than we first imagined, we found a sequence of rocks that worked as a crossing. After putting far too much trust into collapsible poles, we made it across the river. That\u2019s when things shifted into \u201ctype-two\u201d fun. Slogging through chest-high brush, throwing our boards over and climbing under to find them, we fought our way to the snow line, or what was left of it. A mix of patches of snow, grass and bush, we decided to boot pack until the snow became more consistent to transition to splitboarding.<\/p>\n<p>Within the first 100 meters of crossing consistent snow, we decided to turn around. The snow was garbage. It consisted of a refrozen rain crust on top, and hollow rotten snow underneath. We had finally made it within reach of our objective, but knew it was a better call to retreat. We strapped in and did a few sketchy turns on our way down for good measure. Then we decided on an easier objective, pizza and beer.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_829\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-829\" style=\"width: 1600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-829 size-full\" title=\"We found good pizza and great beer at La Gringa.

A few pints and pizzas later we had a new plan. Working his local connections, Mauri spoke with the owner of a local backcountry company, Caviahue Adventure in Argentina. The owner Andre had a few extra seats to go out to Copahue the next day, a tiny town high in the Andes. It was an easy decision to go as he described the giant natural hot springs and amazing terrain surrounding Copahue. He was confident that we would be able to find some snow out there.<\/p>\n<p>Copahue is only accessible by road in the summer, so we were stoked to have an opportunity to get out there in the cat track adapted trucks. After driving up a dirt road to access the snow line, we hopped in the snow trucks and cruised through the snowy tundra. Copahue is a town that sits in a former caldera of an extinct volcano. When we arrived, the town emerged below us in the valley like a snowy mirage. A-frame cabins, small houses, and even a lodge were built around a massive hot spring in the center of town.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_841\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-841\" style=\"width: 1600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-841 size-full\" title=\"The Town of Copahue is dormant in the winter.

Mario was the chef at the one operational lodge that served as a base camp for Caviahue Adventure in Argentina.
