It’s Septembrrr… Beware It’s September… It’s September and wether you know it or not, you’re mind has been seasonally shifted. September is the first of a series of months that end in “-ber” that lead to you saying “brrr.” The equinox is only 21 days from today.

Trip Report: The Sensational Views of a Ski Adventure on Cerro Lopez, Argentina Report from August 29, 2024 One of the most gorgeous places on Earth is Bariloche, Argentina’s 6,811′ Cerro Lopez.

Cerro Catedral, Argentina, Report: 1 Day of Chalk + 1 Day of Corn on 4 New World-Class Chairlifts Report from August 11 & 12, 2024 The past two days at Cerro Catedral in Bariloche, Argentina have been a hoot.

Nubes, the highest chair […] Conditions Report Miles Clark | August 12, 2024 0 Comments
[PHOTOS] Ohau Snow Fields, New Zealand, Conditions Report: Fiesta De Freshies Report from 9 August, 2024 Enter the White Room. Another funky-fun foot of powder snow has blanketed Ohau Snow Fields. This latest 24-ish hour storm is the second to grace New Zealand’s beautiful Mackenzie Country in fairly quick succession—with more to come.

Patagonia Backcountry Report: Whip Cream Spines & Granite Towers Report from August 6, 2024 Today, we went for a jaunt in the alpine.
