Season

September

Difficulty

Intermediate to advanced

Find backcountry refuge as you traverse Argentinian refugios. Discover untainted landscapes packed with laidback bowls above a frozen lagoon and thrilling couloirs between granite peaks reminiscent of Gothic spires—mere miles from the fittingly named Cerro Catedral. Its slopes are home to an eponymous ski resort, the largest in South America. Starting there, you’ll ditch civilization in favor of hut-based skiing at the Frey and Jakob refugios. After skinning up steep slopes and shredding top-notch powder in chutes with 3,200-ft vertical drops, return to your cozy hut for after-ski with authentic food and vino tinto Malbec—your rustic Andean experience has just begun.
