Built on 4 a.m. alarms and winding explorations of the Whites and the Greens and the Adirondacks and the Catskills and the Poconos and the Berkshires. Flights west to the Rockies and the Wasatch and the Sierras. Born on bumps rising from the Midwest flats.That domain will always be the core of this thing. Two years ago, I blew out of the Northeast to expand coverage to the entire United States. This year, I began folding in Canada. I can't go any farther. I don't know how many ski areas there are on planet Earth, but an educated guess is a minimum of 10,000, with more than half of those being in Europe. If I live to be 1,000 I might get there. But I won't so I need to fence the yard.However. Just because I live in and focus on North America does not mean my interests stop at the oceans. The world's vast and varied ski cultures are worth considering, as outlets to disrupt our biases, as wells of supreme adventure, and as crucial links in the story of skiing, which fuels the evolution of our domestic obsession in crucial, often unseen ways.But I have to pick my spots. This podcast is built less on novelty than on perspective and completeness. There are only so many far-flung spotlights that my listeners will tolerate, just as there are only so many episodes on ropetow bumps or the Midwest or even mighty New England that they can handle (this rule does not apply to the West). So where, in this whole wild world of endless skiing and endless snow, do I focus?My first entry in this very occasional international series landed almost two years ago, when I hosted the longtime general manager of Mt. Buller, Australia on the podcast. Why Mt. Buller? Well, frankly, they reached out to me and asked. But the ski area also hangs onto a strong North American connection: it is a longtime Ikon and Mountain Collective partner. If my readers are planning a Southern Hemisphere run over our summer, they likely scan the Epic and Ikon rosters before they do anything else.Enter: Valle Nevado. It is the only South American option for skiers clutching a North American ski pass. Vail's Epic Pass, believe it or not, gives you nothing in Argentina or Chile – the only serious ski destinations on the continent. But Ikon, Mountain Collective, and, now, Mountain Capital Partners' Power Pass all give you between two and seven days at the Chilean resort.Not that skiers don't have other options. Lift tickets to Las Leñas, Argentina's second-largest ski area, are just $66. Catedral Alta Patagonia, the nation's largest, sells a ticket for a pricier but still reasonable $108. El Colorado, right next door to – and connected with – Valle Nevado sells a daily lift ticket for around $73. Unlike large parts of U.S. American skiing, you can still ramble without a pass through the Andes (though I expect both Vail and Alterra to eventually acquire or partner with more ski areas throughout the continent).But “free” lift tickets are a powerful draw, even for many travelers with the means to voyage to South America for a ski trip. And a lot of North Americans are going to end up at Valle Nevado for as long as it retains its trio of U.S.-based pass memberships. It's a place that, when I'm considering what matters to my readers and my listeners, fits right in.What we talked aboutA strange snowstorm to start the Chilean ski season; the best time of year to ski Chile; target closing dates; “in 2020, Chile was closed”; the first normal summer for international visitors since 2019; the Valle Nevado origin story; enter Mountain Capital Partners; the MCP way; MCP's investment priorities; the prevalence of surface lifts at Valle Nevado (and South America in general); why Valle Nevado would rather install a new lift in a new place than upgrade a surface lift to a chairlift; where the resort could potentially expand; the resort's massive heliski operation; 7,000 feet of vert!; a ski circus at the top of the Andes; how you can ski La Parva and El Colorado if you're a Valle Nevado hotel guest, or if you show up with an Ikon, Mountain Collective, or Power Pass; why Valle Nevado joined so many U.S.-based megapasses; whether Valle Nevado will renew with Ikon and Mountain Collective when its contracts expire; Valle Nevado's evolving position on the Power Pass; staying at the village; why international visitors shouldn't rent a car; the wild, 8,000-foot-elevation access road up from Santiago; why the road is safer than it looks; and snowmaking past, present, and future.Why I thought that now was a good time for this interviewIn January, Mountain Capital Partners, the under-the-radar but aggressive Southwest operator that is rapidly growing its U.S. portfolio, announced its intention to acquire a majority stake in Valle Nevado. They closed on the deal in April. It was the first acquisition of a South American ski resort by a North American ski company (at least that I'm aware of; I'm sure there's some newspaper clipping from 1946 about the eccentric Hayward “Skip” McSteeljaw, owner of Mt. Buckaroo, New York cowboying a remote Argentinian peak at which to pass his summers).This was a big deal. By beating Vail and Alterra to the continent, MCP signaled that the company intends to compete at an international scale. Prior to this purchase, MCP ran one of the most important regional ski passes in the United States. But no one seriously considered it a competitor to the Epic or Ikon passes outside of its immediate markets. Perhaps they still don't, but perception matters. And by reaching outside of its Southwest home turf with a crown-jewel purchase that trumps its current alphas – Arizona Snowbowl and Purgatory – in international prestige, MCP has evolved from a slick local operator to an ambitious and aggressive growth machine that could be a serious contender when and if North America's remaining megaresorts – Jackson Hole, Telluride, Taos, Alta, Whitefish, etc. – hit the market.MCP also introduced a unique problem to the rapidly evolving U.S. megapass market: what happens when a small conglomerate with its own multi-mountain pass purchases an Ikon Pass partner? Ikon has so far tolerated some crossover with competing passes – all but four of Mountain Collective's partners (Sugar Bowl, Grand Targhee, Le Massif, and Marmot Basin), are also on the Ikon Pass. Aspen's four mountains have their own pass, as do Boyne's three New England Ikon Pass partners: Loon, Sunday River, and Sugarloaf. Alterra surely loses some market share to Mountain Collective, but the pass is run out of Aspen, which partly owns Alterra.The Power Pass presents a different test case: will Alterra tolerate internal competition from a regional pass that competes directly with Ikon in the Southwest? The answer, for now, seems to be “probably.” Valle Nevado's contract with the Ikon Pass lasts through 2025. Alterra and Mountain Collective both gave the resort permission to join the Power Pass, Margulis said, starting with the current ski season. Alterra either doesn't view the Power Pass as a serious threat yet, or is not eager to let go of its only South American resort partner. For North American skiers, a trip to Chile – which sits in the Eastern timezone – is a lot easier logistically and financially than a run to New Zealand or Australia, which are so remote that it's already February 2029 there.The other side of this question is just as interesting: will rowdy and rabidly independent MCP have any interest in retaining Ikon or Mountain Collective membership? A big part of the company's identity, after all, is not being Vail or Alterra, or even Boyne or Powdr Corp. How do they take Alterra's money without compromising some of their double-bird-to-the-system rep? It probably depends on how big the check is. Margulis tells us in the podcast that Alterra transferred around $300,000 into Valle Nevado's bank account last year. If each Ikon redemption equaled $50 (an estimate based on nothing, I'll admit), that would equal 6,000 visitors. Not a lot in the context of how many Ikon Passes Alterra sells each year (which is probably approaching or past 1 million, a number that's based on deep sources), but a substantial bonus for a resort that's seated at the end of the earth. MCP is unlikely to replace that number with Power Pass visits, so what to do?I get into all this with Margulis in the podcast. He is a thoughtful, diplomatic leader, and he endorses all parties without committing to any of them. But one thing is clear: the pass roulette playing out in the Andes over the next few years is a wargames scenario likely to repeat at one or more key North American resorts over the coming decade. This is World War Skiing, the First Battle. There will be alliances, betrayals, surprises, surrenders. As usual, America is right in the middle, and it's too soon to tell if that's good or bad for everyone involved.What I got wrongI noted that Valle Nevado was on its “fifth season” as an Ikon Pass and Mountain Collective partner. The ski area actually joined Mountain Collective following its 2014 ski season, making 2023 the ninth season of membership on that coalition. The resort joined Ikon in November 2018, making 2023 the fifth numerical summer for Ikon Pass holders, though the third or fourth in practice. Chile was closed to international visitors for the 2020 and '21 ski seasons, and the resort did not open at all in 2020, meaning that, practically speaking, this is the third year that most Ikon Pass holders could really use their pass at Valle Nevado.Why you should ski Valle NevadoUntil you've seen it, you can't possibly understand the drama. Imagine if the Rockies mainlined ‘roids like a 1990s baseball slugger. Or got really pissed off and went Incredible Hulk. Or they went U.S. American homeowner and built an extra vertical wing atop their peaks. As I wrote when MCP announced the Valle Nevado acquisition in January:Colorad-Bro can be an insecure animal. One of his favorite pastimes is telling people from other states that they don't have real mountains. Just hills in Vermont, he'll say. We have mountains in Colorado, he says proudly. As though he chiseled them himself from the Earth's crust.I wonder what Colorad-Bro does when he meets someone from Chile or Argentina, both of which sprawl from the peak of Aconcagua. At 22,838 feet, it's 8,399 feet taller than Mount Elbert, the highest peak in Colorado. That's like stacking Copper and A-Basin and Keystone on top of Elbert – and still looking 140 feet up to the top. This must make Colorad-Bro sad.Valle Nevado doesn't reach those heights, but with a base at 9,383 feet, it sits higher than most North American ski areas. The terrain is entirely above treeline, enormous and exposed, a snow basket at the top of the world.Admittedly, Valle Nevado's lift-served numbers are modest compared to the North American skyscrapers: 2,200 acres and 2,658 vertical feet. That's about the size of Discovery, Montana or Kirkwood. And above-treeline skiing always feels smaller to me. This may seem paradoxical, as no trees equals more terrain, but one glade run at a small ski area like Berkshire East can feel larger than a whole open bowl, as each line feels distinct in a way that un-treed skiing never can.Valle Nevado, however, must be considered in this context of its interconnected neighbors: 1,100-acre El Colorado and 988-acre La Parva. They cannot be skied on one lift ticket, but maintained and signed trails run between both resorts and Valle Nevado. That gives skiers 4,288 acres to play in – more than Mammoth (3,500 acres), Northstar (3,170 acres), or Winter Pak (3,081 acres), and roughly the size of Mt. Bachelor. If you're really balling, the heli runs – some up to 7,000 vertical feet – are right there too.And then there's all the rest of it: Chile, vino, Santiago, that surreal road up from the flats, the passport stamp, winter-in-summer, the food, the parties, the international stir. Oh and this:Podcast NotesOn Mountain Capital PartnersMountain Capital Partners has been the fastest-growing U.S. ski conglomerate over the past year, adding three new ski areas: Willamette Pass, Oregon (as operator); Valle Nevado; and Lee Canyon, Nevada. Here's how the company's current roster stacks up:The company has basically guaranteed that it's not finished empire-building – April's Lee Canyon announcement noted that “future resort investments are being explored and will be announced at a later date.” Untethered by the attributes that define Vail and Alterra's purchases – either a mega-mega or big-city-adjacent – MCP could land its ship just about anywhere.On the Power PassMCP has collected all of those resorts on its Power Pass, an outstanding product that, like Ikon and Epic, also delivers days at non-owned resorts:Sadly, the Power Pass site has no mention of days at Copper Mountain, which last season was included on the top-tier pass.On La ParvaBase elevation: 8,704 feetSummit elevation: 11,722 feetVertical drop: 3,022 feetSkiable acres: 988Trails: 40 (18% expert, 43% advanced, 20% intermediate, 20% beginner)Average annual snowfall: 118 inchesLift fleet: 15 lifts (2 quads, 2 triples, 1 double, 10 surface lifts)On El ColoradoBase elevation: 7,972 feetSummit elevation: 10,935 feetVertical drop: 2,963 feetSkiable acres: 1,100Trails: 98 (34% expert, 32% advanced, 17% intermediate, 17% beginner)Average annual snowfall: N/ALift fleet: 19 lifts (3 triples, 1 double, 15 surface lifts)On Les ArcsMargulis mentions Valle Nevado's connection to Les Arcs, France. This doesn't have much to do with the actual story, but I thought we would all appreciate looking at this trailmap:Les Arcs is actually four interconnected ski areas. Here are the combined stats, in case you're wondering:Base elevation: 3,937 feetSummit elevation: 10,583 feetVertical drop: 6,646 feetSkiable acres: Who knows. Euros measure their resorts in kilometers of slopes, and Les Arcs covers 425 “KMs,” whatever that meansLift fleet: 52 lifts (8 “gondolas etc.”, 27 chairlifts, 17 surface lifts)On that wild access roadIf I rode up from Santiago to the ski resorts floating on the western edge of the Andes mountains today, I would come away with videos and photos of the wild endless switchbacks. But the last time I ascended the route – from a Santiago ski shop to El Colorado – was in 2005, before the Pet Rectangle redefined and ruined our collective lives. So all I have are my memories: a suicidal minibus driver charging uphill with little regard for life or the consequences of high-speed mountainside collisions. No guardrails. Passing on blind curves. Like we were filming some South American Bourne movie. But we weren't. We were just going skiing. Dear Lord.Margulis tells me the highway is much safer now, and who knows if I'm even remembering it correctly, as I'd spent the previous two days in a borderline hallucinatory state brought on by Argentinian lettuce.

================================================== ==SUSCRIBETEhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNpffyr-7_zP1x1lS89ByaQ?sub_confirmation=1================================================== == DEVOCIÓN MATUTINA PARA ADOLESCENTES 2022“UN SALTO EN EL TIEMPO”Narrado por: DORIANY SÁNCHEZDesde: PERÚUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist Church 12 DE NOVIEMBRELA CAIDA DE LAS ESTRELLAS«Las estrellas caerán del cielo y las potencias que están en los cielos serán conmovidas» (Marcos 13:25, RV95).Durante la noche del 12 de noviembre de 1799, la primera lluvia de meteoritos registrada en los Estados Unidos sorprendió a los habitantes de la costa este. Fue tan intensa y tan vívida que los cielos se iluminaron con el brillo de mil estrellas fugaces cada minuto. Todo el mundo la vio. Los que no se despertaron con los gritos nerviosos de los vecinos, se despertaron con los destellos de las bolas de fuego que iluminaban sus oscuros dormitorios. Esos “fuegos artificiales” celestiales fueron causados ​​por una banda repetitiva de meteoros llamada Las Leónidas, que aparece todos los años a mediados de noviembre, pero que parece ser especialmente impresionante cada 33 o 34 años. Volvió a aparecer en la misma zona en 1833, y esta vez fue aún más espectacular durante las primeras horas de la mañana.¿Qué es lo que hace que las estrellas «caigan»? Cuando la Tierra se acerca al rastro de un cometa que pasa, los trozos de roca se queman en la atmosfera terrestre. Estos meteoros atraviesan la atmosfera a velocidades de hasta 260,000 kilometros por hora [160,000 millas por hora), dejando estelas que brillan durante unos segundos despues de haber vaporizado. En una lluvia de meteoros promedio se pueden ver entre 15 y 20 meteoros por hora.Por todo lo que se nos ha dicho, la lluvia de 1833 fue probablemente muy parecida a los años pico de las Leónidas de 1966 y 1999 y habría incluido hasta 150.000 meteoros por hora. «Fue la escena más grandiosa y hermosa que mis ojos hayan contemplado jamás», dijo un niño. Algunos meteoros parecían no ser más grandes que una gota de agua, mientras que otros estaban tan cerca que parecían tan grandes como una luna llena. Imagínate esto y tendrás una ligera idea de la maravillosa escena. Algunos pensaron que las estrellas deberían estar cayendo del cielo y que la escena debería ser una señal del juicio venidero. Otros simplemente se interesaron por el aspecto científico. La lluvia extraordinaria causó tal interés en todas partes que impulsó el primer estudio organizado de la astronomía de los meteoros.Jesús dijo a sus discípulos que una de las señales del fin de los tiempos sería la caída de las estrellas. Para nosotros, el fenómeno de las lluvias de meteoros se parece mucho a una mancha de estrellas ardientes que se dirigen hacia la Tierra, y entendemos que estos acontecimientos son el cumplimiento de la profecía de Jesús. ¿Significa esto que Jesús vendrá pronto? Yo así lo creo.

In 1994 in Lillehammer, Norway, Tommy Moe became the first U.S. male skier to win two medals in the same Olympics—one Gold, the other Silver. But Moe is much more than just one of the greatest downhillers in history; he is also a fun-loving free-skiing enthusiast and a pioneer of heliskiing in his adopted home state of Alaska. As someone who has skied just about everywhere for fun and sport, he's the perfect guide to lead us on a global adventure to the world's top ski destinations for 2022. Moe starts in Alaska, where he cofounded and co-owns the Tordrillo Mountain Lodge. Set in the Tordrillo range a 40-minute flight from Anchorage, the luxury wilderness lodge offers access to some of the most extreme skiable terrain on Earth. But the vast wilderness also offers a range of long, wide-open cruiser runs and everything in between. During summers, the lodge is an ideal base for fishing, rafting, and adventures by via ferrata—a mountain network system that, as Moe explains, opens up the thrills of rock climbing to people of all skill levels. For those interested in heliskiing, Moe's main advice is to do your homework. Research your options and make sure that whatever destination you choose offers the right slopes for your abilities. He also advises that you get in shape before your trip—you don't want to blow a week of heliskiing by getting injured or too worn out to make the most of it.  In addition to an epic heliskiing adventure in Alaska, Moe has some other ideas for where you should hit the slopes in 2022. Not surprisingly, he recommends his current hometown of Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Known as a skier's mountain—boasting 4,129 feet of pure fall lines with no traversing—the Jackson Hole Resort has long been a draw for experts. But Moe says the town has developed a broader appeal over the years, especially with the addition of new luxury hotels like the Four Seasons. A new hotel in Taos, the Blake, prompted Moe to ski New Mexico's premier resort a couple years ago—and he was blown away. Also in the U.S., he loves Whitefish Mountain Resort in his native Montana. Hopping over to Europe, Moe cites Val d'Isère, France, at the top of his list. During his many times racing in Val d'Isère—with its idyllic backdrop of a European town with stone and wood buildings, crepe shops, boutiques, and restaurants—he was drawn to it for more than its superb ski slopes. But his fondest memories are of hitting the powder with his teammates on days it snowed too much to race.   Moe talks with Bruce about St. Anton in Austria, Portillo in Chile, Las Leñas in Argentina, Revelstoke in British Columbia, and Niseko in Japan, which he says combines some of the world's best powder with a truly unique cultural experience. For destinations like Japan or Austria—or anywhere, for that matter—Moe stresses the benefits of skiing with a guide. Having the right person direct you will help you find the best runs for your ability and the right time of day to hit them—and can also keep you from getting lost and finding yourself in the wrong village far from your hotel! Following Moe's expert picks and advice, Bruce shares a few insights of his own: The Wallin Wrap-Up highlights some of the top hotels, trips, and more that we have to look forward to in 2022. ----------------------------------- Learn more about the podcast: https://www.curtco.com/travelthatmatters Hosted by: Bruce Wallin Produced by: AJ Moseley and Darra Stone Music by: Joey Salvia A CurtCo Media Production See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On today’s episode, I get the chance to speak with Chris Davenport, one of the world’s most accomplished big mountain skiers. Initially, as the grandchild of a skiing pioneer and child of a ski racer, Chris started out as a racer, himself. Eventually, he transitioned into free skiing and that has since become his passion.  During our discussion, we talk about his history with skiing, how Chris is a lifelong student of skiing, and why he thinks all skiers should take up the fight against global warming. Tune in to hear a great conversation with someone who knows the language of the mountains.  Topics:  [02:02] Chris grew up skiing on a small mountain. [02:10] His grandfather was a big skier and was involved in the founding of New Hampshire’s Mount Cranmore. [02:24] HIs father was also a Ski Racer at the University of Denver. [03:26] Chris was a Racer at the University of Colorado. [03:56] Ultimately, he enjoyed free skiing more than racing. [04:50] A certain racing event turned the tide for Chris and he decided he wanted to pursue skiing professionally. [05:20] A friend of his convinced him to compete in the race in Crested Butte. [07:13] That summer, he went to Las Leñas, where he learned a lot from Doug Koontz. [08:33] Chris’ is heading down to Chile to run his eighteenth ski clinic. [10:15] Clinic attendees often have trepidation, because they are working with professional skiers. [10:50] Chris discusses staying open to new experiences and continuing to improve his skills as a skier. [13:10] Each clinic client has their own needs, so the clinic focuses on improving the individual without a set script or schedule. [13:44] One of Chris’ camp attendees went on to win the Freeride World Tour. [15:40] Teaching people to grab the bull by the horns comes with its challenges. [21:17] Factoring in different types of terrain when training people to be better skiers. [23:15] What is means to pay your dues as a skier. [23:30] How to master the “language of the mountains”. [28:32] The importance of combating global warming. [30:40] Chris’ work with Protect our Winters and why it is important for other skiers to get involved. [32:40] What people can do to be more “green”. [34:40] Finding his tribe in Crested Butte at the Extreme Skiing Championships. [35:34] How POW is focused on the upcoming midterm elections. [36:53] Chris favorite motivational quote is “A goal without a plan is just a wish.” [37:12] He thinks younger people have goals, but don’t have actual plans of action. [38:00] He also likes the term, “knees to skis.” It’s a great reminder about form and keeps him aligned on the mountain.   Quotes:   “It’s that passion and love of the sport...it just permeates the whole camp and the whole atmosphere.” -Chris Davenport   “I’ve heard a number of times from clients after the camp, that they went into it...having the pros built up on this pedestal and then in the end they realized we’re just skiers, just like they are.” -Chris Davenport  “Skiing is all about experience: you have to pay your dues.” -Chris Davenport Resources:  Wagner Custom Skis   Protect Our Winters   Chris Davenport’s Website  

Las Leónidas del 2009 pasaron sin pena ni gloria, al menos para los que, como Ulises y yo, tuvimos la desgracia de esperarlas bajo cielos cargados de nubes. Sin embargo, aunque las estrellas fugaces nos nieguen el espectáculo, lo cierto es que, para disfrutar del firmamento, sólo hace falta una pizca de imaginación. Ulises nos lo demuestra hoy soñando con las Pléyades y aquí les hablamos de otro lugar no menos fascinante: un hermoso conglomerado de estrellas denominado Trumpler 14, recientemente fotografiado desde el Observatorio Europeo Austral.

Como todos los años, noviembre nos hace un regalo adelantado de Navidad: la lluvia de estrellas fugaces de Las Leónidas. Estén ustedes atentos entre el 14 y el 20 de este mes, especialmente la noche del día 17, entre las 21 y las 22 horas UTC (las 10 y las 11 de la noche aquí en España). Se calcula que durante ese intervalo, la Tierra cruzará varias estelas de desechos que el cometa 55P/Tempel-Tuttle ha ido dejando a su paso a lo largo de los años, unos desechos que se convertirán en estrellas fugaces. Ulises nos explica el origen y la historia de las Leónidas y en nuestra página Web, cienciaes.com, les proporcionamos datos concretos de las previsiones en función de la hora y el lugar en el que usted se encuentre.
