Skiing in South America

[jaymajik]

I snowboarded in Bariloche. It was pretty good. It was outrageously cheap and the facilities are up to European/US standards. It's not a massive resort, but its a real bargain.

Getting around Argnetina is easy (and cheap, again). There are lots of internal flights, and the bus netwrok is amazing - all luxury coaches with full reclining seats - better than anything I've seen in Europe. So if you want to do it that way, and see some of Argentina, thats a cheap way to do it.

FWIW I don't speak a word of Spanish, and I travelled around Argentina for 6 weeks and was fine.
