Bariloche, Argentina Report: Dark, Howling Wind to Mini-Bluebird-Powder Day in Less Than 20-Minutes Report from July 30, 2023 Yesterday we awoke well before dawn (9 am here) and got up and onto Cerro Catedral in Bariloche, Argentina, early. Mikey and Nati picked me up, and we laughed about how it had rained all night and how little chance there was for the day to be any good. The snow level had been well […] Conditions Report Miles Clark | July 31, 2023 0 Comments
Patagonia Backcountry Report: A Little Spice & A Little Nice in Some of the Most Gorgeous Terrain on Earth Report from July 27, 2023 Yesterday the weather looked iffy. Clouds, fog, and sun at sunrise. Sunrise here is about 9am here right now so you’re out there early. As I was climbing up at dawn, it looked a little rough, but it looked like there’d be a chance for sun. The bulk of the clouds were mostly a low […] Conditions Report Miles Clark | July 29, 2023 0 Comments
Bariloche, Argentina Report: Face Shots, Flat Light, & A Freakish Sunrise in 2 Chutes Around The “Big Finger” Report from July 26, 2023 The forecast was for an overcast, cool day at Cerro Catedral in Bariloche, Argentina on Wednesday. I was racking my brain for what I could ski that might have some contrast. I assumed the tree skiing had been pretty torn up from the day before (it was so fun). That left tight chutes. I didn’t […] Conditions Report Miles Clark | July 28, 2023 0 Comments
Bariloche, Argentina Report: 24-Hr Travel, Dumping Snow, Terrific Tree Skiing, Sumptuous Steaks, & Fernet y Coca Report from July 25, 2023 I arrived in Argentina last night after an easy 24-hours of travel from Utah. I got upgraded to Premium Plus on the flight and had a big comfy chair, tons of legroom, and better food. I felt spoiled… It was the best travel to South America I’ve ever had (I’ve flown down here 17 times). […] Conditions Report Miles Clark | July 25, 2023 0 Comments
Trip Report: Snowbird, UT – “Pipeline Couloir” on July 21, 2023 Report from July 21, 2023 “Pipeline Couloir” at Snowbird, UT yesterday was a buck-wild adventure ski! Maybe the best adventure skiing I’ve ever had anywhere… Rockfalls, waterfalls, evil melted-out black bomb holes, second-thought-inducing steeps, convoluted/corrugated snow, violent pitch changes, unholy spine-chokes, a large rocky waterfall mid-chute, and more rocks-embedded-in-snow than you can shake a stick at. I actually removed about […] Conditions Report Miles Clark | July 24, 2023 2 Comments
Trip Report: 11,068′ Mt. Superior, UT – “Suicide Chute” on July 20, 2023 Report from July 20, 2023 Suicide Chute (or Country Lane as it’s becoming know as) on 11,068′ is an old staple for us. We generally like to ski it when it’s “bad” or at least a bit bent out of shape. Why? Because the Wasatch is a bit busy these days but when the conditions aren’t ideal, there are a […] Conditions Report Miles Clark | July 22, 2023 0 Comments
Alta, UT Report: Horribly Terrific Conditions in Main Chute on 11,068′ Mt. Baldy on July 19, 2023 Report from July 19, 2020 I arrived in Utah after a long absence on Friday and paddle-boarded the Jordanelle Reservoir after 75 ski days in a row in Mammoth and the Eastern Sierra, CA. I went tubing down the Provo River on Saturday (and got a $140 ticket for no lifejacket…). Paddleboarding the Jordanelle again on Sunday. I spent Monday […] Conditions Report Miles Clark | July 20, 2023 0 Comments
Mammoth, CA to Park City, UT Report: 500% of Average Snowpack, The Clown Motel, Tonopah Cemetery, Cold Springs, 580-Miles of Desert, & a UT Paddle Board Report from July 14, 2023 Friday was our last day in Mammoth Lakes, CA for the season. The snowpack is still at 500% of average for today’s date in Mammoth and the mountain is still skiing so well… We skied fresh corduroy at Mammoth in the morning, hit the road by 9am, jumped in a cold spring with tame fish […] Conditions Report Miles Clark | July 17, 2023 4 Comments
