Patagonia Backcountry Report: The Patagonian Spine-Fingers

Report from August 26, 2023 On Saturday, we showed up early with a line that only had a small chance in hell of being any good. My favorite line here.

Patagonia Backcountry Report: Launching Blind Airs in Deep, Explosive, Bizarre Snow After the Storm of the Year So Far

Report from August 23, 2023 Yesterday was one of the deepest days we’ve skied here in Patagonia. But it was still weird… It was deep and slow and stiff – but also light.
