powder day shredfest

3valleyschile_crew.jpgI wax poetic for a minute if that’s allright.  When we began with 3valleyschile this is the sort of scene we envisioned.  Different people from different places getting together and sharing their enthusiasm for the mountains and fresh snows.  Lately the weather has been fantastic. Deep dry powder and blue skies… Learning from experiences, sharing ideas and reflecting on moments that pass so fast sometimes its hard to grasp the meaning…we get together in happy hour and as we sit together the feeling resonates. A friendship with out pretenses or pressure.  Raise your glass and send out cheers in gratitude….

did you hit it? yup we ripped it!

From El Colorado to Cono Este and on to Valle Nevado and Valle Olympico, Tres Puntas and Ballicas.  Finish off the day with a run down Sta. Teres and we are basking in the after glow of another powder day here in 3 valleys chile….Maybe tomorrow we head out to La Parva and hike out of bounds to Falsa Parva and the chutes in the bowls that are there…

stormy days

dsc00876.jpgWith a foot of fresh snow last week and the dusting that proved to be a god send for the backcountry mid week.  I’ve been a bit busy and not quite able to keep up to date info up for you out there.  Today with another whiteout in effect I can now tell you about these stormy days…They have been so nice! A fine showing by the Pilsen crew in the first leg of the Lippi freestyle big air in Valle:  Tomas taking second and Craig in third… Marcos and Stefano laying tracks in the chutes outside of La Parva. So many familiar faces glowing with the satisfaction of powder turns at the happy hour in Alambique.  Its the daily operation for us here these days
