Alert: The Epic Pass no longer includes Las Leñas on its Epic is Endless promotion. A little ironic when the site says, “The Epic Pass is unlimited, unrestricted & unreal. And now the benefits are Endless… The Epic Is Endless promotion has ended and will not be offered for the 2012/2013 season.”
Not that it matters too much to us because we know Cerro Catedral is still holding it down as South America’s best ski resort – this summer as all summers.
In what can only be described as a ridiculous amount of skiable terrain, Las Leñas offers some of the most badass, grow-hair-on-your-nuts skiing in the southern Hemisphere. Check out the video posted if you don’t believe me. What do you like skiing or riding? If your answer is: skiing off Andean summits into couloirs, off drops and onto gnarly steep descents into oblivion, you should probably stop by Las Leñas at some point in your life journey.
However, there is one thing to consider if you’re considering making the trip. To access the big mountain you must take The Marte lift, which is due to avalanche and snow pack, is not always be open. So look at reports before you go.
