My "turn or die, turn or die" mantra would work great there.

No that steep. 40 deg ish
Hardest part is hiking up into it at that altitiude
Always got great snow, because the walls keep it in the shade.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Felt that this didn't really belong in "snowSports" so have moved it here, although not quite on the "Piste" either

rayscoops,
I have written a review of our trip in the review section of this site. It was f...in awesome and it is already snowing in South America and the season doesnt officially open until mid june. My biggest bit of advice is hire a pick up and drive between many resorts staying 4 days or so at each. I would definately try to check out Las Lenas to in Argentina too.

plectrum, I have had very provisional discussions with an argentinian ski mate who is thinking of having a few weeks in Chile on the snow, so it is more than just a 'wish' at the moment. I will checkout your report to get a bit more info. Cheers

Looks like you could use it as a half-pipe (if you ignore the rocks). Of course you could make turns. You could get a bus through there!
