27 Jan 2009 My good friend Matt did some amazing skiing in "Las Leñas":http://www.laslenas.com/verano-2009/english/index.php (Argentina) this past summer. He's a great backcountry skier, based in "Silverton":http://www.basecampsilverton.com and skis as much as he can all year. "This video":http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=yDDYr2a5MuI shows him loving life (aka skiing the goods) in Las Leñas.
I'm a cyclist (mountain biker at heart, but spend a lot of time on the road as well), trail runner (no pavement for me!), skier, hiker, like to camp, romp in rivers, and generally spend as much time as I can in the mountains. I also love to surf and hang at the beach, but I don't get to do that much these days. I moved to Eugene, OR a few years ago, and am continuing to explore my local outdoor opportunities. The Lake Tahoe area of Northern CA is probably my favorite place to mountain bike (love the rocky trails!), but I love to ride any new trail I can get my hands on.
I also post trip reports from friends here; guys like Matt who is based in Silverton and skiing as much backcountry as he can year round (he goes to Las Lenas every summer), Rich, another backcountry skier as well as kayaker, and so on. Good times.
