Day one in Bariloche was certainly different than we both expected. After a breakfast of coffee, ham, cheese and scrambled eggs, we got a remise (private taxi) to Cerro Catedral. The weather was rainy and blustery. On the way to the mountain, we were hoping it was snowing on the mountain. Upon arriving at the base of the ski area, we were a little taken back. Literally no snow at the base. We were in the process of purchasing lift tickets when some helpful advise came our way. It was suggested we don't waste our money on lift tickets. The top of the mountain was closed due to high winds and people were down loading on the lift because they can not ski down. So we did what any good skier would do, we sat on the deck of a restaurant and had a beer. We got lunch - Milanesa con jamon y queso completa - Breaded beef w/ ham, cheese, tomato and lettuce. Really quite good! After a great day on the mountain we headed into Bariloche town center. We walked around, had a few beers and ate at a nice fondue place. Cheese fondue with ham, sausage, bread and potatoes which was washed down with a bottle of Argentina Alamos Melbec wine. Quite a ski day without much skiing! Hopefully the weather will change over the next several days!
