Skis Back on the My Feet

Posted by admin-jessmcmillan in Backcountry with Jess

It takes a few planes, trains, and automobiles to get to Las Lenas, but it is worth it. Lenas received 9 feet of snow last week and the coverage is really good. The only problem is that there seems to be a giant fan blowing full blast on the Andes. And this is what it feels like.

Despite the gail force winds, the Las Lenas Big Mountain Competiton is going off. I was disappointed to hear that it is for men only, but Griffin Post and Drew Stoeklein are representing for the USA. Griffin skied into second and Drew fourth yesterday. The boys have one more run today, hopefully for the win!
