And it is...
... closed:-(
I ended up driving up there and when I got to immigration this morning the guy told me it was closed due to heavy snow - missed it by six days! He said he doubts it will reopen for the season and will open up again in November - he said it's usually open November to April.
I asked lots of people on the way and no one knew. Police, military and just people in general. Then it seemed like people made a up a few answers - some with a yes and some with a no it's not open - so I figured I would check it out myself... when in doubt go anyway. It ended up being a nice ride and now I'm at the base of the Mendoza/Santiago pass... still nice and am looking forward to the ride tomorrow.
Chaiki, you should post some information so people in the future can check themselves. Who did you call for information? Thanks to everyone for your help and this gives me a reason to come back
