season o8 wrap up

Posted by Karl Sanderson on October 16, 2008

All’s well that ends well.  And there we have it people, another season behind us. One filled with brilliant memories of deep powder turns, stylish jibbing, and massive airs.  We had a great time here in the 3 valleys.  Right from the beginning of the season when we were blessed with a big dump just before opening day and then again the week after.  All july consisted of powder turns in the morning and park sessions or sick lines down Sta. Teres in the afternoon.  Happy hour, the place to be to reconnect after a day of “no friends on a powder day”.  Never any bad vibes there.  We had people here from all over the world this season.  Aussies, English, Spaniards, Quebecers (that’s probably misspelled) Yankies, Canucks, Scots and Asians.  We rode hard and shared our passions for the shred.  No one really wanted it to end especially after the August we had. So much fresh snow,  great competitions.  Some for cash and prizes others among friends trying to one up each other in a friendly game of S K A T E or puta or shize hazza. Much love and gratitude to all our clients this season.  From Mary, Sabrina, Vanessa, and Julia to Jeff, David and the Irish lads.  Big ups to Jake and Jay. Best of luck this upcoming season.  Ryan, Jesus and Arsene, Rebecca and Mikey.  Thank you for being with us this season.  Bombaklat! much respect and love to everyone that called El Colorado, and Farellones home for the season.  Barry, John, Ralf, Cyn, Marco, Bernadita, Stefano, Carolina, Daniela, Gav, Blake, Nico, Leta, Cristian, Checho, Pinky and the rest of the park crew. I’m sure I’m missing some people out. I apologize and wish you all the best. I hope to see you again next season. Silent Chairs

Spring time slushy sessions

Posted by Karl Sanderson on September 21, 2008

August left us with metres of fresh snow.  Powder days now have ended as we move on to spring conditions.  With this deep base we are having an amazing spring shredfest.  The Lippi competition series has finished with our friends taking honours.  Tamo in first and Ralf in third.  Perfect park conditions for progression.  Loving life and living the dream.3valleyschile

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….

steez!

What to do when waiting with patience for friends.  Express the sentiments reflecting the day.  Sunshine, blue skies and nice snow.  Laid back and chillin’  Jake Colenda drops and pops.  Days like this you never want to stop…

Afternoon park sessions

Henry and Duncan enjoying some afternoon delight in the park.  The rooftop of the Monte Blanco is there on the right.  That’s home to www.3valleyschile.com.  Close…huh….As is the base of El Colorado over there on the left.  Get the good lines in the morning then after lunch hit the park.  When you feel as though you’ve had your fill.  Slide over to the Parador at the base of the resort to share a 2 for 1 drink with friends and tell the tales of the days riding over a plate of papas fritas while checking out the latest snow videos or the infectious beats of DJ P.  Yes skiing and snowboarding in mid August in Chile is a very nice experience…
