From North to South

Amy's ramblings. Once upon a time these ramblings pertained to my 5 months in Guatemala and Honduras. Then they followed the ebb and flow of my final semester in Alaska. From there things really went south ... to Argentina, Bolivia and Chile. After 8 months in the Andes, I fell back under Alaska's spell … working at a newspaper and wandering mountains. Now I'm somewhat south again ... in Jackson Hole, WY, teaching ski school on the clock and making fresh tracks off the clock.

Neumeyer

The day after I arrived to Bariloche, I joined a couple of Spainards on their trip up to Neumeyer Refugio set up through the local Club Andino. The weekend outing was perfect in every way! There was nearly a meter of freshly fallen snow, bluebird skies and amazing terrain for making tele turns out the back door of the refugio. Plus, the 4X4 vehicles that daily take dozens of tourists to Neumeyer were unable to plow through the recently fallen white fluff, creating a serene and quite hut experience... I really had to laugh when I was passing all the stuck vehicles on my skis, and the cameras were flashing relentlessly.
