• Skiing South America: Just Go Skiing South America: Just Go

  • From: ryandunfee
  • Description:

    It’s that time of year again.  It’s when we watch the local snowpack fade away, taking with it the memories of the season.  Lucky kids start flocking to glacier camps at Mount Hood and Whistler.  And webcams start showing evidence of the beginning of the South American ski season, causing the unsatisfied among us to begin researching credit cards with airmiles rewards and to start looking at our calendars and bank accounts.  It’s a scenario I’ve found myself summer after summer, and with some good luck, was one I was finally able to act on.  At random, on a surf check at a frozen New Hampshire beach, I met the owners of what was then South America Snow Sessions, and within three days had a sales job and my sights set on Argentina.
    
    An unhealthy amount of exuberance led me to believe I could ski every single month of that year despite being based out of New England, and come June I found myself at the base of Tuckerman’s Ravine with a broken ankle, grimacing in pain at the bottom of the last landing strip of snow in the pouring rain.  I still made the trip to our backcountry ski camp in Bariloche, Argentina, but the ankle boot never came off during that first trip, and I was left manning the office and watching the flakes pile up outside.
    
    The year after that and after some internal troubles, a new company under the name of SASS Global Travel was formed, I found myself running all the marketing, and most importantly, I was back on the plane down south with two healthy ankles and a long hit list.  The skiing at Cerro Catedral, our home base, was everything I’d dreamed about.  Perfectly spaced trees with nary a track, even by mid-afternoon, allowed for fall-line GS turns and mountain bike lines over and off of fallen trees.  Alpine bowls accessed from a quick hike that kept most of the locals and all the Brazilians at bay offered easy access to as much powder and as many drops as you wanted.  One day we spent eight hours skiing and traversing the entire Van Titter valley behind the resort.  We saw a total of three other people.  And the partying, women, and red meat are reasons to go in and of themselves.

    But this year, in a move that will seem apocryphal to any of you, I turned down a free trip back to Argentina.  I could be looking forward to another season of unreal terrain with amazing friends and life-changing experiences, but I chose not to go.  As that dream had been realized, my mind turned to focus on the next life goal, which is to use what talents I have to advance the cause of environmental and social sustainability, whatever that means.  I told myself that I could go on as many South American adventures as I wanted to, but they wouldn’t get me much closer to realizing a more fundamental, life-long goal I knew I’d need to satisfy to be truly happy with my life.
    
    But YOU SHOULD GO. Whether it’s with SGT, which I recommend, or not, the South American skiing experience is like no other.  It’s short.  It’s punchy and can go from shit, to good, to great, to shit, faster than you can order a Quilmes.  You cannot see a storm on the horizon for a week, but get fresh tracks everyday thanks to the Andes’ steady winds.  It can snow every three days for a month.  You can be grinning staring at all the blower out of the gondola window, and then saying your last prayers as gale-force winds blow your thirty-year-old pod with a partly open door sideways.  It can snow four feet at the base, and the local government might only have one snowplow.  You can shred pow all day, and then walk into a Reef bikini contest at the base area with free Coronas. You will feel like a true explorer like you’ve never felt on snow, as you’ll very likely be the only ones hiking off the trail with a backcountry kit.  Or powder skis.  Above all, it will in no way resemble any other experience you’ve had on snow.
    
    I’ve had my amazing experiences and memories in South America that will last a lifetime, and I don’t doubt I’ll be back for more at some point down the road.  But for both of our sakes, please go south this summer.  Just go.  You can thank me in the fall.

    You could be shredding here in a couple of months. La Laguna,  Cerro Catedral, Argentina. Photo by Ryan Dunfee.

• Review: The Top 5 Ski-Bum Cock Review: The Top 5 Ski-Bum Cocktails Of Argentina

  • From: media-75233
  • Description:

     September 2, 2011

    Tetongravity.com contributor Ryan Dunfee is in Argentina skiing, making cool video edits by day and cocktailing by night. Dunfee checks in with us often, and he recently wrote this ski-bum guide to boozing on the cheap in Argentina. Although we can't join him in celebrating this Labor Day Weekend, we'll be there in spirit, cracking PBRs on Monday while we tube the Snake River one last time. So pour yourself the cheapest glass of Malbec you can find, sit back and learn about Argentina's low-ball libations through the eyes of a global ski bum. Have a great long weekend.

    

     YoBeat's Brooke Geery enjoys Argentina's answer to PBR: Quilmes.

    Quilmes:  The workhorse of the ski-bum drinking stable, Quilmes owns 75 percent of the beer market share within Argentina. Visit any supermarket and the majority of what you’ll see in the beer section is Quilmes blue, silver and white one-liter bottles. While Quilmes has about as much taste as a Natural Light infused with Milwakee’s Best, the price is right: supermarket liters go for 6 to 7 pesos, and if you hold onto your receipt, you can return the bottle and get 4 pesos back, meaning you spend about .50 cents for a liter. In terms of affordability, this is South America’s answer to the ski-bum Cup-O-Soup.

    

     Never Summer rider Tony Pavlantos waits out the rain with Malbec.

    Malbec:  With almost no refrigerators in the entire country other than a snowbank, stocking your room full of room-temperature Quilmes might not compliment your hostel digs so well.  However, wine is in overwhelming supply in Argentina.  With vineyards surrounding Mendoza that pump out amazing Malbecs, don’t be surprised to pick up a good bottle of 2009 to 2010 vintage for under $4.  For true bums, scan the aisle until you pass the Malbecs and Cavernets and find yourself staring at the vino tintos, or simply, “red wine.” With a half-water, half-wine consistency, it will give you a gnarly headache but gets the job done, no questions asked.

    

    Bariloche freeskiing legend Chimango Martinez, club Mute manager Lucho Scarpinelli and SGT Argentina Head Guide Skylar Holgate get ready to drown the Argentine signature apres cocktail: Feret y coca.

    Fernet y Coca:  The signature beverage of Argentina is a bitter spirit made from a number of herbs and spices including myrrh, rhubarb, aloe and saffron, and to add to the legend, is rumored to include codeine, mushrooms, fermented beets and coca leaf.  With the natural taste of Fernet Branca, the signature brand, resembling black-licorice flavored Listerine, taking Fernet straight is so gnarly that it’s almost a ski-bum faux pas.  Instead, Argentines will mix 70 percent coke in with only 30 percent fernet.  Drunk, sweaty gringos returning from the hill will make obnoxious requests for a mitad y mitad — a half and half.  Skylar Holgate, Head Guide for SGT Argentina, claims it doesn’t give you a headache.  That statement is still up for debate.  “Asado, mate, and Fernet,” said our hotel receptionist Manu Terrado.  “That’s what all Argentines love.”

    

    When your ski legs are crashing but the women are still dancing around you, it's time to reach for the artillery of the Argentine ski bum cocktail world: whiskey and Speed.

    Whiskey con Speed:  The most violent and invigorating of all South American ski cocktails, a “whiskey con speed” comes in to play only in that 2 a.m. period of desperation when your ski legs and lack of sleep attempt to keep you from clubbing non-stop till dawn — again — among a bevy of Argentine beauties flocking around you.  Combining the devastating effects of whiskey with hours of relentless aerobic activity with strobelights flashing in your face would destroy anyone.  Now combine that with Speed Unlimited, Argentina’s toxic answer to Red Bull.

    Proposals are already on board in a few states to ban the sale of Speed Unlimited due to its inordinately caffeine- and taurine-heavy chemistry.  This is in Argentina, a country that could never be cited for its spearheading efforts in public health.  So, you know this shit works.  

    “I don’t like Speed at all — it makes your heart go faster,” said Bariloche bartender Lucia Hertz.  “But it tastes good.”

    When it’s time to really get in the club game, there is no need to look elsewhere. Just be warned that with more than one of these down the gullet, you’ll be sitting in your bed, sleepless, heart pounding, soaking your mattress with cold sweats while coughing through your new-found cigarette throat.
