Well I´m from Argentina but live in El Yaque- Isla Margarita -Venezuela now, best month of snow down there is July and Agust. Bariloche should be a good choise, Las Leñas, too. But i´m sure there´s more places to find out with not so many montaines and trees, so constant wind.
I was wondering usually on the Patagonia is blowing too much...
Best Regards.

Hugo.

I´m going this year on July to the snow in Argentina, i will love to try it, too. I´m reading about it on some magazines to know what to do, and what not to do... Autodidacta.

you can check the wind anytime you want at.

you have the wind conditions of every city of argentine ( 50.000+ people I guess)
Ushuaia is in Tierra del fuego, but all the Patagonia has good winds. (T. del F. + Chubut, Rio Negro, etc)

Argentina for snowkite !

Postby Huwin69 » Tue Jun 17, 2003 5:59 am

About cheap i´m sure that Argentina rigth now it´s the cheapest...because after 10 years of 1 peso = 1 dolar...
Now it's 2,85 pesos for 1 dolar. So that means almoust 3 times chepear than before. And the prices went up a bit not as much as the dolar did.

I´m going on August to Bariloche for sure !! I just heard it´s the best time, uncrowded and perfect snow.

Best Regards.

Hugo.
