I am biting my self in the face.
That lucky bastard,whoever he is.
MORE!!
I love the gay little turns next to his...
GAH!!!!!!!
Have fun down there this week...I hate you.
A few more pics from down south, but check out the liftlines:
http://www.basinski.com/
got a message on my phone from a bud in lenas right now and he was telling me that i made the right call in NOT going down there w/ him right now. totally nuking storms, zero visibility, roads/passes all closed so they're stuck there, and marte not expected to open for at least another week. he did say though, that if i could get down there in about 2 weeks (i can't), it should be off the hook. so all you fuckers going down in the next 2 weeks......sounds like you'll nail it just right.
and straightlining or barely turning in hiked for powder turns is gay ;)
That is a sweet pic. If anyone deserves some of that it is Shoelaces!!!!
Gimpy, hope you are right and hope things open up by the time we get down there on saturday. :D
Making fun of a powder turn in August, while you sit in the northern hemisphere not skiing.......Now that is truly Liberace-like-GAY!! ;)
I was thinking that Ty gets dibs on first lines....anything to help the heartache right?Quote:

ANYTHING??? that might be a bit strong for me. But once again you have shown your willingness to take one for the team. ;)Quote:

so what does all this mean, do we get down there and call an audible in santiago? ski in chile? oh for the love of god too much snow is such a double edged sword. this is starting to feel like january in tahoe all over again. record snowfall and no way to ski.Quote:

Your there for a couple weeks, right? It's been a while since we skied together
Sadly, I'm only there for a week. I did a bad thing and got myself a job. Or was it a good thing...midweek skiing on the clock...
It's definitely been too long though. Those were some great days at the Bird. See ya soon!
I haven't been up in a week or so but last ride on Marte you were only about a foot off the ground and that was loading 2 out of 3 chairs. I remember talking then about taking a preventive stance and moving snow before it comes in again. But then I remembered we are in Argentina. Seriously, it will be interesting to see how long it takes to get Marte cleared.
This morning in San Rafael it is overcast with occasionally rain. We have had more rain the last 3 days then the rest of the winter. It is also windy this morning!
Arty, you´re gonna get hosed...Quote:

Got some mails from lenas,some local seriously wondered if Marte is gonna open in next two weeks, or this season..
Volcano out, Cenidor going (it´s stopping all the time..).
:(
Annnnd this is the last thought I see before I leave... :cussing:Quote:

Tyrone, Girlski, Arty see you suckas there. We will be arriving in LL saturday afternoon, assuming the roads are open. I am hoping Stoy brings his good karma, luck with him.
I lived without Marte last year, and I'll do it again this year...

There's around 2000-3000 feet of skiing missing from those pics.

Guys, have good trip there.
Godspeed.
Today's report from a friend in LL:
Too much snow marte lift is buried under 15 feet of snow and the damn argentinians cant open the other lifts if their lives depended on it.
we are thinking of going to bariloche but it is flat there and little snow and a long ways away.
on the bright side the chicas are super hot and like to make out!
Just got this from the dir of skiing down there.
Volcano needs a day or so to get running once we get a break in the
weather. Martes needs a few days to dig out. It is buried but still there.
We were supposed to have good weather today through Friday then a short
20cm storm. I am back in my office early because I can't see shit in a new
storm that has commenced today. We have great snow, more than I have ever
seen here. I was riding up Menerva poma thinking I had never seen banks so
high that I had to go to the top to get out because the poma line is under
the snow level. Skiing when it happens is going to rock!!! When I don't
know!
Thanks mang! So it sounds pretty good for the begginning of next week. This SA JONG can't figure out whether this is good or bad.Quote:

Quit wasting my tax money bitch!Quote:

I don´t think it is the gringos that need motivation. The LL management don´t grasp that people come from all the world to ski off the top (MArte chair). Just look at the pictures and webcam, they don´t even aim towards the mountain. We should all buy LL from the Malaysians, put some real lifts in, and rule the southern hemisphere. Anyone in?
I sent Tyrone a pair of Phantoms for the trip. They don't like speed, but are great toys in any fresh.
You guys are all welcome to play with them.
HAVE FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I already know the tr's will be epic.
