VIDEO: “Getting Stupid in Las Lenas” – August 2015 Our buddy Dorian got stupid in Las Lenas in early August this summer. Some of these lines are, well, kinda silly. Very high penalty, tight, claustrophobic, scary, rocky, sketchy lines. That’s what this guy is into and that’s what Las Lenas delivers on a platter on powder days. Most the lines in this video were filmed right off the Marte chair. Yep, you just ride up a chairlift to get to these lines. Las Lenas is a couloir skier’s dream come true. If you like big open terrain, there is a bit of that, too. But couloirs are king here. Miles Clark | August 15, 2015 3 Comments
