Backpack & Carry On:
Ski/Snowboard Boots (vs. board bag, see “Ski/Board Bag”)
1 Full Change of Clothes (in case checked bags are lost)
Computer
Cords for all technology
Camera + Gear

iPod / Headphones

Extras/Optional:
Hot Sauce, Spices or Salad Dressing
This is not a joke if you like spice — Argentines prepare mild Italian-style foods. If you bring and share hot sauce, we will love you. You can leave hot sauce with us if it’s not already gone when you leave.
Compact Sleeping Bag and Pad
For clients with touring experience interested in overnight hut excursions. Excursions are solely at the discretion of guiding staff. They are not guaranteed, and not all clients possess the skills required.

About Hair Dryers, Curlers and Electric Razors:
There are no hair dryers at the Lodge. If you need these items, make sure you bring one with a 220-240V rating; or a full down-converter adapter designed for higher amps. Otherwise you’ll trip the circuit breakers!

About Laundry:
We have a laundry service that comes, picks up and returns washed and folded laundry bi-weekly. No need to pack for the entire trip. The service costs 30 pesos, or about $6.50.
