Friday, November 14th, 2008

The latest adventure in Chillan last September. This year, on the last day, we skied safely from the top of the Nevado back down to the MILodge. Probably the most myterious run in Chile… The Shangri-La valley definitely is a magical place! See for yourself.   (more…)

Wandering Without Answers in PatagoniaThis is where questions come from.The PowderQuest ski guiding season ends. What to do. We both, Pierre and I have three weeks off before our next commitment. Scratch, scratch, scratch…our heads are itching and we are chomping at the bit for some action. There is only so much you can get out of the Santiago disco scene not to mention that at every rave where we end up seems to have the same hombre loving types that gravitates around us even thought we are obviously grinding with the latin lovelies.We take to the sky and fly to Punta Arenas for some more disco and cultural exploration… this time we got chased by this dude and his swinging hammer, a fucking hammer (when I write “we”, I mean me). Enough of that, we pick up our third recovering partner at the airport in our pimping Diesel SUV. Lovely machine but comes from the time before the turbo. We top out at 100km/h and maybe 120km/h downhill with a tail wind. All the way to Puerto Natales we cruise, just in time for the end of the sea kayak guiding course my buddies are on and join them for the ultimo asado fiesta thing. People meet people from all corners of the world and figure out there seven degrees of separation. A good exercise when fueled with vino. (more…)

NÉVÉ in Patagonia

Wednesday, October 3rd, 2007

Hi everyone,Here we are! It is spring time in Chile. After spending most of the season in central Chile, Phil and I just flew to southern Patagonia. It is still winter down here with plenty of snow to enjoy. We are presently in Punta Arenas in order to set up transportation logistics for the next month down here. Many great objectives on the list. First of all, the legendary Torres des Paine national park. Then heading north to El Calafate and El Chalten and the magnificent Fitz Roy Massif as well as cerro Torre. Some of the world’s most beautiful mountains, on the edge of the Southern Ice Cap, the world’s third biggest ice sheet. With a little help of mother nature, we will get to ski these areas that do not get skied very often. Heading back to Canada early November, this will conclude our 2007 south american winter season.Agrandir le planAgrandir le planHere is a link to more information about Patagonia:AndesCrossScroll down to the 11 day icefield traverse.Pictures anf footage coming up soon…
