Cerro Negro
Cerro Negro stands at 10,547 feet and is known to be the steepest of all the tall peaks surrounding Las Lenas.
Las Lenas received about 3cm of snow last night and we were hoping there would be a fresh coat of paint on Cerro Negro. The snow looked pretty good from the top, but when I dropped in I realized it was bullet proof with 3cm of new snow on top.
The snow did soften up half way down the slope.
And turned to perfect corn near the bottom.
It was great to ski Cerro Negro. It was the last big peak I hadn’t skied in Lenas. Next time I ski it, I will wait for powder.
Nice one. Cerro Negro is definetly the steepest substained line we skied there. And since it faces east, it seems to go thru the cycle and can be firm, as you appeared to have found out. Buen hecho. Jamie
