Day 6 has been an awesome adventure so far. We were finally allowed to access the backcountry from the Marte chair and hit some big lines that we have been eyeing up. The first being Las Torricelles. The line was just over 1100 vertical feet and was the best snow to date, roughly 8" of windloaded powder. The second line today was a short trek away from the first and is named Manhattan Couliour. This line didn't have the epic snow conditions as the first but after the challenging entry it was 2000+ vertical feet that went from 10 feet wide at the top to 100 feet wide at the bottom. The snow upon exit of the tight entry was awesome spring corn and we had an awesome line all the way back in bounds. Today is the Argentinan Independence Day so it is now time for our siesta and the standard late South American Dinner.
