Snowing in Las Lenas

June 30th, 2009 · 2 Comments

It’s our second day in Las Lenas and it is absolutely dumping! Full-on white out conditions with about 6 inches of new snow on the valley floor. It just goes to show you that even www.snow-forecast.com, the most reliable weather forecasters for Las Lenas, can even get the weather predictions right around here. We are keeping our fingers crossed that it will pop tomrrow and we will get our first tast of the mighty Marte mañana.

First Day In Las Lenas 09′

June 29th, 2009 · 2 Comments

We, Tim Konrad and Mattias Sullivan, have arrived in Las Lenas, Argentina after a intense 16 hour bus journey from Buenos Aires. We were welcomed into the valley by a strong winter storm the left over a foot on new snow on the valley floor. This was followed by our fist day of “summer” skiing and what a day it was. The ski gods blessed us with about a dozen outstanding runs of boot top deep snow on the lower mountain. Each of us took a few somersaults as we struggle to get our ski legs back under us as well as avoiding the shark tanks which seem to be all over place. There has been talk of a passable Marte opening tomorrow which has keep our minds and eye on the upper mountain all day.

* we have put together a short video of our time in BsAs and a few shots from today but the powers that be in the Las Lenas Valley have shut down Vimeo so we are looking for another way to get it up on the site. Stay tuned!

UnofficialSquaw skiers Tim Konrad and Mattias Sullivan have arrived in Buenos Aires to start their “summer” ski season. After doing some site seeing and partaking in some weekend madness in the capital city, we will be head over to the Andes mountains and the ski resort of Las Lenas where the winter season is due to kick off this Saturday June 27th. There has been a reported 6 feet of snow so far! The heavy storms have caused the main lift, Ts Marte to derail from towers 2-5 but should be up and running come this weekend.

Entre Rios

August 27th, 2008 · No Comments

(Entre Rios, Las Lenas)

We are two hours into our hike up to Entre Rios when Erik the Swede starts freaking out. “I can’t feel my fingers, the rest of this hike looks like a bag of ice-skates and if this wind gets any stronger we are all going to get blown of this fucking mountain. I’m going home!”


Here is Erik 45 min. later killing it on Entre Rios. I think it is safe to say that he was quite pumped about finishing the hike.
