Chair 3 opens on Thursday, and G2 to the top on Friday. We'll be up by tomorrow or by Thursday for sure. \:D/

My 160 cm K2 Lotta Luvs did great in Chile this past summer. They were very quick turning on the traverses, held well on the firm packed stuff, and skied the powder fabulously (of course, it was fabulous powder =P~ ). I know a lot of women who have the Lotta Luvs in lengths from 153 to...

Yeah, I know a lot of crazy people with those types of season passes. We did not buy a Loveland 4-pack this year (and don't plan to) so I'll guess we'll be on the WROD at the Basin only. Actually, that chair is so slow that there are never that many people on the slopes, but the liftlines can...

Big snows coming in the next day or two . . . . :D Enjoy it, Patrick, whatever you decide.

Tony, that's quite an impressive lists of countries for your sons. How many countries are on your passport? Maybe you could adopt us??? :P Seriously, great pictures and obviously quite an adventure. Thanks for sharing. :!:

July 24, 2008 After yesterday's perfection, we have to ski again at Valle Nevado. The day starts out overcast and does not improve. We never even take out our cameras. However, the groomers are great and we find a few areas to make some powder turns. The snow is still fluffy and light. We...

Thanks, Admin. PM me if you'd prefer a shorter report that focusses more on the skiing and I'll be happy to edit it.

July 22, 2008 OUR ADVENTURE CONTINUES . . . It snowed a bit last night and some more snow is expected for tonight. It was cloudy and cool this morning so we again postponed our trip to the beach. We took a bus very far to the east of the city, and visited the famous market of El Pueblito de...

We just came back from 3 weeks in Chile. The post below narrates our adventures from July 7 - July 21. Because of the length, I will describe the remainder of the trip in a 2nd post to follow this one. THE SKIBUMS BIG ADVENTURE July 7, 2008 Started out late for the plane, long line at...

Patrick, I have about 30000 Chilean pesos left over if you'd like to make a deal. :wink:

Good article, Tony. We just got back this morning. Had some great skiing including an incredible powder day - best powder we've ever skied anywhere. I could become a powder junkie at that rate. Look for a TR in the next week or so. :D

Some good links on that web site, Tony. Thanks for posting. By next week at this time we'll be skiing - very excited to be finally going to SA!

Gentlemen, this discussion is amazing . . . I don't even seem to have the time to read and understand your data, and I'm retired! How do you find the time to track, analyze, report, and argue over these statistics? I'm with Geoff, we track ski days and vertical feet and that's enough for us...

Thanks, Tony. I guess it's OK now to book a trip. I note that several areas are open in Chile or will be open by 6/14. Nothing yet open in Argentina.

Nice to see your photos of closing weekend. We missed it since we flew to A-Basin on Saturday to ski their last week. We had a gamut of spring conditions ranging from firm to slushy to several inches of fresh "powder" which led me to do a face plant on our last day. This led to a fairly large...

Well, I would choose skiing over posting a TR every time. My friends who don't ski understand that I am not available from November to May - this year I will not be available until August. :D

Patrick, thanks for the next chapter. We enjoyed reading it and especially seeing the photos. 8)

We are presently in Mammoth. Skied Saturday and Sunday. Coverage is relatively good, much better than last year at this time. But it is really HOT this weekend, in the upper 60's on the hill, more like late June or July temps. They are losing snow quickly, but based on many years of skiing...

Patrick, it's hard for me to write a TR even weeks, let alone months, after a trip. In CO I try to post every couple of days. I won't be able to do that in SA, I know, so we'll see how I do with my TR in August or so. Tony, I have read all the SA TRs, some several times. But there's always...

Patrick, you stopped writing the novel so you could ski the WRoD in CO, and never finished it? I'm hanging onto your every word, and I need more words, and especially more pics! :x
