We had a great hike down to Pampa de Las Leñas. A little rain on the way but has changed to blue skies. The team is doing well and is excited to celebrate our last night in the mountains with an Argentine-style barbecue. We'll check in tomorrow from Mendoza!

Keith. . .

Glad you made it. . . on a side note, you’re “on-call” when you return and while I’m skiing next week.

Kamran sends his love, and since it snowed 1 inch today, he of course stayed home. I am piss!
