Mornings on the Roca Jack travesia, afternoons on the Lake Run.
Mix in a Super C lap and it's a pretty strong program.
Of course, you'll need to eat four times a day, drink Pisco sours and dance at night.
Portillo.
The best. Can’t wait.Quote:

So the NOAA Enso prediction is now "In summary, ENSO-neutral is expected to continue for the next several months, with La Niña favored to emerge during September-November (66% chance) and persist through the Northern Hemisphere winter 2024-25 (74% chance during November-January; [Fig. 7])."
Good news, more sputter sputter delays.

But will it be weeks with a lack of new snow until another river shows up?

"Parastacus pugnax, also known as land shrimp or burrowing shrimp, is a crustacean of the Parastacidae family. This crayfish is one of the 6 species of the Parascatus genus that inhabits the rivers of Chile; it is an edible species characteristic of Chilean cuisine."
Not much to them, normally, and kind of musty tasting. Also known as mud shrimp.

Not to be confused with Camarón de Rio, common in the few rivers in the north of Chile with sandy shallows. These are tasty and bigger shrimp.
ah, got it. thanks. used to see the same thing when i was stationed in sicily. they was selling fresh eels from the rivers.
I think one of those pomas is the first lift I took. I bailed at the top. 1982.Quote:

Mini Comish flew off to Coralco this morning. Kinda jealous! They ever get their "new" quad running yet?

lack of sunshine leads to frozen chunder… at least i got the senior ticket price, which is nice.
Nice work 2711. Glad you are down there!
My name is also Casey. Arriving to Valle Nevado for some heli skiing on the 24th. Never been. Got the pre-trip conditions stress but from what I've seen, its been rather good. Adios.
Yucky weather for a few days. Something will fall, someday.

Getting serious about the wind, “jet stream” stuff

Monday and Tuesday it says. Cloudy, windy, cold, but some flakes may fly after.

2-4cm fell late Sunday, and some 10-20cm should fall between today and tomorrow.
What a yucky day looks like, with a tease of powder, from Piuquenes south

I got 3 runs on Fabres, without seeing a single other skier. Nothing was groomed after the snowfall

As is typical on a day like this, clouds above, clouds below, the sun comes out for a 10 minute show before setting

Looks like a good day in La Parva,

But cold snow showers are coming in the afternoon. Snow possible in the barrio alto of Santiago.
Who thinks about bitcoin at 3,500m?

Someone does, I guess.
This is an oddball storm, with warnings for wind, hail, and electrical storms. So far the fog is just spoiling things.

Meanwhile, Portillo starts to cloud up, after 10cm last night and some sun today.
