Valle Nevado Chile

Valle Nevado is just uphill from Santiago, Chile. Dominique Rudlof is Valle Nevado’s marketing director and she shares her enthusiasm for this amazing resort in South America. Skiing begins in June. All-inclusive options area available on the mountain. Two other resorts are accessible literally by skiing over to them from Valle Nevado. Wine and nightlife are hallmarks of this part of the world. Valle Nevado was deprived of a ski season in 2020 due to COVID. The stoke for 2021 is high and Dominique sounds ready for you.

Two great skiing conversations on this one great episode.  Jeremy and Lance talk about the joys of Jeremy’s 14-year-old son’s growing passion for days on the hill with dad.  And now, a little less dad.  We talk about that moment when we are willing to let go, and trust, and hope, and pray, that “see you at the lodge at 4:00” proves real.  Jeremy also shares a bit about a recent Utah trip that started as a tour of several areas, including The Canyons, but landed Jeremy right where his skiing soul belongs when in the Salt Lake Basin, Little Cottonwood Canyon, and Alta/Snowbird.

And if that isn’t enough, Mike has Jessica (she currently hails from Reno/Tahoe and seems to like Northstar a lot!) walk him through the benefits of Pilates as a workout regimen for skiers and snowboarders.

Lance and Mike are unofficially getting out the trip-tik and planning a trip to Truckee, CA.  Their new best friends they haven’t met are perfectly represented by Shawn Bradley.  These guys are daily Squaw Valley addicts, and they are called TheFirstChairBoys.  You can find them on Instagram, where their popularity is exploding.  Join them, and their roomies, TheFirstChairGirls on Insta and enjoy their frequent posts.  These guys love to ski, make it a seasonal priority, and they have adapted quite well to the COVID-Apres “Carlodge.” We’ve got dibs on Shawn’s couch.  And we’ll be on that first chair with him if we act quickly, for mountain nightlife is not an option this year.

listeners loved Colin’s interview during Episode 13. This is the follow-up we promised. Colin has now completed avalanche training and backcountry education. He’s also already got 18 days of skiing and it is only January 20. His local hill is near Bellingham, Washington. It is Mt. Baker, a rockin’ awesome area. Colin gives a comprehensive overview of all aspects of Mt. Baker. He’ll lead you through the most extreme of its turf, the generally difficult terrain, and cruiser runs for everybody. Baker is famous for two unique races. They are the Banked Slalom and Ski to Sea. It has a natural half-pipe. That’s where the Banked Slalom race happens. Ski to sea is a race that starts with downhill skiing on Mt. Baker, includes cross-country skiing, cycling, and kayaking. Enjoy this groovy episode.

Lance and Mike begin what will be an ongoing conversation about the importance of POWDER Magazine to the soul of skiing. We have more to say about this super-influential magazine in upcoming episodes, but can’t help but begin some appreciation for the Moe brothers and founders and influential editors over the nearly 50 years of the mag. We also talk about reservations and parking reservations. It’s part of the COVID-era skiing game. A little like a tee time for golfing, but a lot different than we’re used to.

Chris shares his coping tool when the resorts are sold-out: show up with AT gear and two friends and earn some turns in the backcountry, side-country, or wherever the adventure awaits. He tells us all about the progression of gear, thoughts on safety, and his dedication to lifestyle fitness. And there is also the tree. If it weren’t for all the cold east coast snow, one might say Chris’s intro to skiing at 13 years old was a bit of a baptism by fire.

Labor Day Vibe and JB Misses First Tracks
Mike and Lance deliver. That is, they deliver their early season mountain dining experiences to OTL listeners. Large lodges are sitting empty. But the food prep remains abuzz in the kitchens. We talk about the COVID-look of grab yer food and scatter, architectural changes to mountains because tent dining is apparently safer than in-lodge. We talk about the blossoming bring-your-own-food practices, cook stoves, soccer-parent chairs. And being ready to make your car your personal hot cocoa stop.

Our pal, Tod, shares about his righteous ski rig. There’s always a little extra sleep, and a fried egg sandwich when it comes to parking lot skiing from Tod’s fully self-contained class B playpen. And, Jeremy tells us how he took a mere leased lodge with a DJ and turned a stuffy obligatory birthday party into, well, listen and you’ll find out!

Ski films should be watched during the end of summer. It’ll put you in the mood to gear-up during Labor Day mega-sales. Mike talks about his mid-80’s Warren Miller Fave. Lance launches into his Greg Stump Era (i.e. Plake, helmet cam, mic’s on skiers, Schmidt) hero’s.
Our story-teller favorite regular guest (whether he knows it or not), Tony Pasin, talks about another tony, “Anthony’s” infamous dance!
Fun stuff for one commute!
