This is Mike and team checking in from the Andean ski resort of Los Penitentes. We enjoyed a scenic drive through the vineyards of Mendoza and the twisty highway that brings our team into the Andes. There is a lot of snow in the hills and we are looking forward to starting our trek to base camp tomorrow. All the gear is sorted and packed to survive the mule ride to Plaza Argentina. If you are wondering what our gear will encounter just picture your duffel bag in an industrial paint shaker going for 12 hours straight. The team is in high spirits and we will check in from Las Lenas tomorrow evening! RMI Guide Mike King
