Ohau Snowfields, New Zealand Report: Ear-To-Ear Storm Smiles A healthy wallop of long-awaited new snow has brought a shot of life to the Otago region of New Zealand and beloved Ohau Snowfields. An 8″ (20cm) dose of dry, beautiful powder snow swirled in at Ohau. Moderate squalls (quite common to the region) have followed the most recent front. They’ve done a fantastic job of pushing accumulation onto most […] Conditions Report Paulie | August 4, 2023 0 Comments

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.

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.

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 didn’t […] Conditions Report Miles Clark | July 28, 2023 0 Comments

While I love […] Conditions Report Julia Schneemann | July 26, 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.
