Tahoe Backcountry Report: Skiing in a Video Game… Digitized, Overly Smooth, Fake Texture Snow in Made-Up Terrain Report from December 20, 2021 The snow out there skied like a video game… It looked digitized, overly smooth, fakely textured, made-up terrain. It skied like… well, it’s skied weird as hell. Chalky, powdery, smooth, predictable on right turns. Breakable crust, catchy, hooky, scary on left turns. The terrain was fantastical: fake rock spires, seam-ripping spines, perfectly hewn planer faces, […] Conditions Report Miles Clark | December 21, 2021 0 Comments

Bariloche, Argentina Backcountry Report: The Big Lines of “Alaskita” Little Alaska is my favorite line in Bariloche. It’s not too bad of a hike, the views are stunning, and the terrain is intense. Avalanche terrain management is priority number one here. The upper spines are subject to wind loading. The middle convex rollovers are textbook avalanche start zones and the lower chutes would flush you extremely hard if anything came down. This zone is only to be played with when stability confidence is high. The wind really hammered the Catedral massif two nights ago – pressing the snow down, scouring some zones, and filling in others. Little Alaska is very prone to wind and wind loading. The last time I […] Conditions Report Miles Clark | August 8, 2014 10 Comments
