Line over the Lake

Another bluebird day, and another beautiful day in the Andes.

Inversion

It was cloudy today when we woke up and headed out the door to go ride. However once we got to the top of the mountain and started the hike to the jump spot the clouds started to clear and it became bluebird. The build went quick soon after everyone was sessioning.

Mystic Trees

Rolling with a small group today allowed us to get lots of laps through the trees. Coach Scott Kuchinski making turns underneath mossy snow covered trees.

Steep and Deep

With new snow and wind certain spots around the mountain had some deep snow. We spent the entire day lapping Nubes getting the good stuff. Camper Peter Wentz going after it.

Fresh Snow

There is something special about getting fresh turns. Chris Coulter getting powder top to bottom.

Condors Searching

When you see condors flying around it is a sign for snow. They are out searching for food before the ground is blanketed in a fresh layer of snow. Today I saw about ten condors, the most I have ever seen in one day. Hopefully this means a big storm is on the way.

Beacon Drill

Campers arrived last night and got to enjoy their first day on the hill. Coach Chris Coulter demonstrating the use of an avalanche beacon.

Snow Covered Mountains

Although I have been to Argentina before, the view of the mountains in the distance is one that you never grow tired of.

First Day

Today was the first day on the snow. We started off with a mellow hike to loosen up. The snow was good and everyone agreed it was one of the best first days they have had in a while.

Argentina

I have been traveling for a few days and have finally arrived in Bariloche, Argentina. After a long bus ride it was nice to see the snow covered mountains in the distance.
