The hunt for Classics continues. After six years of following, climbing, and skiing 46 of the lines and mountains in the book “The Fifty Classic Ski Descents of North America,” it’s time to pursue a personally inspired and modern list of classics.
The Super C might be the most infamous ski line in South America. Hidden from view but only a short hike from the ski area, the Super C is a couloir that rivals some of the best couloirs on the planet. But its proximity to the ski area at Portillo, Chile, doesn’t mean it’s a gimme. A 45-50° entrance into a leg-burning 5,000-foot descent provides a challenge for all skiers.
The FIFTY+ goes international and is joined by legendary skier Mr. Portillo himself, Chris Davenport, Elyse Saugstad, and filmmaker/godfather of freeskiing Mike Douglas.
