Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

A rare ski lift (combination chair + t bar) in Patagonia

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
Just happened to find this:
Combination chairlift + t bar on a common cable
Location of lift: La Hoya ski area, near Esquel, Patagonia. Here's where it is (Argentinian Patagonia).

Anyone know this place?

It's briefly described on this blog on doglotion.com. The rest of the blog is worth a look for other ski locations in South America.

The surface lift is only for the use of headless people and their guides. Shocked

 Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Isn't a 'chondola' a smelly gondola that induces Antipodean style projectile vomiting ?

Skied La Hoya this summer.

It is now my favourite mountain in S America and I've skied a few (Antillanca, Portillo & Termas de Chillan in Chile; Caviahue, Cerro Bayo, Chapelco, La Hoya & Las Lenas in Argentina).

Las Lenas has everything that La Hoya has in spades, but when the Martes lift is closed then it becomes a very average mountain. And the lift is closed quite a bit.

La Hoya is laid back, has fabulous in-bounds terrain and easy hike to / traverse to out-of-bounds terrain. Very good snow record and a real town - Esquel - nearby. And it cost us £6 a day to ski. The snow was fantastic and it hadn't snowed in 5-days, plenty of untracked to be had.

If you're heading down to S America then make it to La Hoya.
