Without going into details, and I don’t want to jinx it, but this election might totally shock Admin, but Harris margin of victory might be huge. Generational change vs an old white guy that can’t stop complaining? Who better to talk about abortion issue. An 80 old man or a Woman born in the mid...

Blocked in Canada also.

It’s pretty far to go skiing. Much smaller than Big Snow. New Jersey is much closer. ;)

Wow. Really awesome landscape and pictures.

5-10min if you are 2010 Ingrid Backstorm… 15-20min for the rest of mortals and a bit more for me (transition, snack, pictures). In my TR (link above), you’ll see the day’s graph at the start of the day. Hike, short descent, climb to other side of bowl.

One day, yes. Although not much online, La Hoya is definitely worth the detour for the slackcountry.

Unlike Queenstown, Bariloche definitely has a city feel with a bit of Bavarian favour. It’s not Mendoza, but similarities are much closer to it than Queenstown which definitely has a touristy town vibes. Memories are fading, yes the lower part wasn’t as interesting. La Laguna is a beautiful...

I am more concern with snow. Very long dry spell. In many areas, it hasn’t snowed in 4 weeks.

Talking of decline of Biden, Trump has been more unhinged now that he was 4 years ago. Assassination attempt is one more kid (he’s 20) that had access to guns. Another Chapman or Hickley looking seeking attention. The majority of the electorate hasn’t really been paying that much attention to...

I don’t know, some people might realize that one of the candidates is a narcissist criminal psychopath and threatening to take the US in uncharted waters. Looking at the abortion debate, Supreme Court decisions, etc.

Turnout in the US 2020 was 67% which was the highest since 1900. Turnout had been between 52-62% since 1972. Midterm elections are in the 40s %.

I remember at my first trip in Argentina the exchange was something like 3 pesos for $1.

Las Lenas is far from everything. 12h drive (986km) from Bariloche 3h53 drive (342km) from Mendoza. Bariloche-Esquel is a fairly easy road on Route 40 (of course, I took the bus). 285km. 2010 TR from La Hoya https://madpatski.wordpress.com/2010/08/29/43-below-arg-29-aug-1-sept-10/

I just saw Chris's call out. Sorry been too busy focusing on the Southern Hemisphere and home renos. Laurentians... short drive north from Montreal (Everything from St-Sauveur (40 miles/60km) to Tremblant (70 miles/120 km) is pretty. Eastern Townships which has the northern end of the Green...

From Bariloche you a relatively easy access to Cerro Bayo in Villa La Angustura and La Hoya in Esquel. Days spent over 2 trips (2008 and 2010). Bayo : 2 Catedral: 4 La Hoya : 6

That is the 1st edition of Thomas Perren’s maps. The 2nd edition is with a series of photographs.

Pretty sure Rodo and Jari are at a solid 6 with crazy number of ski areas and countries skied in, but 7 is pretty special.

There is a series of maps/route that were made. First edition were rough drawings (don’t remember who lent it to me) and second edition which came out around 2009. Bought one which was stolen with all my gear after my trip once I arrived in Buenos Aires. Soulskier bought me another copy when he...

July in the Andes = stay clear if you going to use a lift.
