This is the mostly true story of how I ended up in one of the greatest untapped steep skiing destinations on the planet this spring without making a single turn. A real “ski vacation” if you will. My skis have…
Peru was a wash, literally. It rained most of the time and kept us from skiing the mountains we barely even had a chance to see. It was a difficult time both mentally and physically, but it was an eye…
