Las Lenas, ARG Update: Key Chairlift Still Broken, Powder is Epic First the bad news: the Neptuno chair still hasn’t been fixed since it was hit by an avalanche and derailed off of 5 towers on July 14th.

Now, the good news: Las Lenas got 63-inches of snow last week and the powder is glorious. Our buddy Adria […] Conditions Report SnowBrains | July 20, 2015 0 Comments
Tahoe Backcountry Update: Good Snow Up High Tahoe is beyond magical. We are blessed to call this place home. Major perk: Winter is always on in Tahoe from November to May, it’s just a matter of how deep and how high one is willing to go. This season has been a sleeper up high and deep. Since the season kicked off, we have enjoyed over 24 powder days. Yes, multiple powder days in Tahoe this year. What truly defines a powder day? If you enjoy fast, steep, smooth, no ice turns with blower snow engulfing you on each turn…then yes, I guess it’s a powder day. Tahoe backcountry #4_feb 21 2015_slasher blower_rider Ryan Williams Even though it’s not our normal Tahoe […] Conditions Report Guest Author | February 22, 2015 0 Comments

VIDEO: Mid-Winter Whistler, B.C. Update: This winter has been rough so far for the Whistler area. With low snow and storms far and few in between, we have spent these early months of winter trying to chase the powder from Revelstoke to Baker. Although it always hasn’t been a success it is always an adventure. Scoping new zones, seeing different snowpacks, and working in a group dynamic always makes things interesting.
