Winter PanAm’s
Argentina first tried to host Winter Games in 1951 in Buenos Aires, but did not due to lack of interest.
Members of PASO voted to hold the first Pan Am Winter Games at Las Leñas in September 1989.
Lack of snow forced the postponement of the games until September, 1990.
Only 8 countries sent athletes.
Of the 97 total athletes, 76 were from Argentina, Canada, and the US.
Due to lack of snow only three events were staged Slalom, Giant Slalom, and Super G
The US and Canada combined to win all 18 medals.
