Newest lifts in the Andes. Two more new lifts for 2008 and another one next year.
Low elevation and nice day lodges, and did I mention no crowds.
We stay in town because of the great food throughout the city.
The best kept secret in Argentina or Chile.

Amazing scenery,extremely modern facilities,lift tickets as cheap as chips,no crowds(August the best month). Just get a flight to Ushuaia then a taxi to the tourist info centre in town they will help you with whatever standard of accomodation you need. This is much cheaper than booking a package before you arrive. The touist agency Rumbo Sur run a bus from Ushuaia to the resort for 5 dollars. No party scene to speak of but to get away from it all and ski some nice powder this is great value for money.
