Patagonia Backcountry Report: Immaculately Dry Late September Powder In A Ravishing Chute

Report from September 18, 2023 Monday morning was clear and cold. This time of year here is usually hot and melty… Not this year. This year all of September has been cold and stormy. Mikey came out with us on this day, which was rad. We climbed up to a chute we call “Scary Chute.” Scary Chute was icy at […]

Patagonia Backcountry Report: This Place Is Getting Too Filled In With Snow | Mini-Spines & High Tower Chutes Are Buried

Report from September 12, 2023 Tuesday was the last sunny day of the week most likely. A large, wet, warm, Tahiti Express storm is clobbering us right now. Lotza rain, wind, and hopefully in the end – snow. Tuesday held dense, wind-pressed, and sun-kissed snow. There were quite a few people in the zone this day so I laid back […]

Patagonia Backcountry Report: Dropping The “Ridgewalker” Pillows & Hucking “The Grifter” Cliff in Deep Powder Snow

Report from September 11, 2023 On Monday, we sauntered out into the backcountry for the afternoon. It was Stormin’ Norman all morning then the clouds started to break up as per forecast.

Bariloche, Argentina Report: Are Spread Eagles in Tight Trees A Good Idea?

Report from September 11, 2023 On Sunday, the snow in Bariloche, Argentina was hot, crusty, and bad. Everywhere. In my ultra-dramatic human standard of being, I wrote the rest of the season off as hot, funky, and weird. A warm, rainy storm was rolling in that day and the forecast was hot, wet garbage. That night, I kept my eye […]

Patagonia Backcountry Report: Mini-Mandatory Air in an Exciting New Chute

Report from September 3, 2023 Yesterday, we hauled our carcasses into the backcountry for one last sunny day. The previous day (Saturday) held the best snow we’d ever skied in South America… On this day we went for the Sun Chutes which are north-facing but we were confident that due to the cold conditions, they’d still hold soft snow. We […]

Patagonia Backcountry Report: Alaska? Nope… Spines, Chutes, & Fingers in Epic Patagonian Snow

Report from September 2, 2023 Yesterday, we got out there early and found rained-on snow and some high-density, delicious cream cheese in the trees on a blustery, cloudy day. Today it went full blue. We expected the typical, wind-pressed, dense, “carton” (cardboard) as they call it here. As we climbed up we started noticing sparkling snow (preserved stellar dendrite – […]

Bariloche, Argentina Report: Spiny Tree Skiing in Cream Cheese Patagonian Powder

Report from September 1, 2023 I was at Mikey’s birthday party last night when a buddy showed me a video of it snowing hard at the base of Cerro Catedral ski resort in Bariloche, Argentina. It was 9:30pm. I immediately grabbed my jacket, kissed everyone goodbye, and hustled home. It was pouring rain in town and the knowledge that it […]
