Hey guys,
first of all thanks for all the helpful threads in here, helped me a lot so far. I'm studying in Santiago and have about a month of holidays in a couple of weeks.

I'm looking forward to doing my first motorcycle trip this july in Southamerica. I want to ride from Santiago de Chile to Buenos Aires and from there on to the north.
Problem is there is the Paso Christo Redentor inbetween.

Do you think that there could be problems crossing the Pass because of snowfall or ice on the road or better has anyone done that during the winter so far?
I couldn't find a site on the internet which has weather conditions about this road because its closed from time to time due to strong snowfall. The Pass is up to 3500meter high. Its the principal route between Argentinia and Chile so there there are a lot of trucks everyday and as far as i know they are always cleaning it as fast as possible.

Next problem. I will buy myself a knew Euromot gxt 200ccm for the trip. A friend of mine might come with me for the first part of the trip and i'm kinda concerned whether the power of the bike is enough for us two crossing the andes (she's a girl and i'm not that heavy either). Unfortunately I don't have much experience so I can't really estimate that.

I really want to do that trip with my own bike and don't want to make my trip with a bus which would be the easy and boring way.
Thanks in advance for your help and i hope someone has done that before and can hook me up with some tips.
