This was the second trip my son and I have taken with CASA Tours to South America. We had travelled with them to Chile a couple of summers earlier and everything about that trip was done so well by the CASA team led by Dave "Gomez" Johnson that we didn't give a second thought to traveling with them when we decided to experience the other side of the Andes. Craig Ross from CASA, one of our team of guides in Chile, was our guide for The Powder Triangle Tour and we were very happy to tour with him again. He is a native of Bariloche which serves as the hub for the whole trip. He has a passion for his city and country and for the outdoors and a complete commitment to making sure you have a great experience with both the skiing and enjoying the culture. The itinerary for the trip was well designed. We were able to enjoy the variety of skiing terrain and spectacular scenery of three mountains, Cerro Catedral, Cerro Bayo and Chapelco. All were fun mountains to ski and with views you'll never forget. Conditions and weather can vary widely from day to day, so it's great to have a guide like Craig that is so knowledgeable about these mountains and can adapt and modify things on a day to day basis to make sure you get to the best terrain. And you couldn't ask for a nicer guy to share some meals and a glass of Malbec and learn about Argentina. You'll have a much better experience traveling with CASA and guides like Craig than if you try to do this trip on your own. We even hired Craig for a couple of extra days at the end to go to Baguales for some back country skiing, which was the cherry on top of a great trip. Thanks CASA Tours and Craig!
