CERRO CASTOR SKI 2005 - "SKI AT THE END OF THE EARTH"!

INFO:

Cerro Castor is the newest and most modern ski resort in Argentina, located at the far End of the World, only 25 km from the city of Ushuaia.

A ski area with -up-to date infraestructure and grooming which provides also the kind of scenic beauty skiers can have over the even glenter slopes..
THE END OF THE WORLD:

One benefit of the area offers is lots of excellent skiing. Because of its location there will be no altitude sickness problems and guaranteed snow together with the longest ski season in Argentina. Great slopes by lenga woods, virgin forests and the Beagle Channel as a backdrop.

Ushuaia, right off the Beagle Channel is a neat, friendly city full of life. A stroll down the coast provides a glimpse of the legendary Beagle Channel and its many stories of International travellers such as Darwin, Fitz Roy, etc.

POWDER SNOW & LONGER SEASON: The privileged climate of Ushuaia is ideal for winter sports. This reason, together with the fact that the slopes are on the south side of the mountain, guarantees the best snow throughout the whole season, as well as the excellent slope quality and maintenance.
At virtually every ski resort worth of its mountains the season ends with the best snow of the year. Cerro Castor is no exception. September is the best month, days are longer and warmer.

THE MOST MODERN SKI RESORT: Quadruples ski lifts, brand new equipment from Rosignol and Salomon, more than 17 Km. of slopes, 772 m of slope, 15 slopes with one FIS competition with cronometraje cabin.
Full rental equipment for alpine skiing, snowboard, snowblade and skifox. Ski school for kids and nursery for babies; desinfection and heating of boots.

IT IS NOT ONLY ABOUT SKIING: Ushuaia offers other possibilities to complement a visit to Cerro Castor. Nature lovers will be able to visit the beautiful and snowed Tierra del Fuego National Park, navigate the stormy waters of the Beagle Channel, enjoy walks with snow shoes and racquets, dog sledging and 4x4 drives to lakes Fagnano & Escondido. Last, but not least, Food is remarkably interesting in Ushuaia from the exquisite lamb to the tasty king crab.
