With a few inches of new snow and warmer temperatures, athletes were in great spirits and put on a fantastic show on Eduardo's-- the massive, 2,500-vertical-foot venue at the Argentinian Freeskiing Championships. Still, due to unseasonably low snowpack, this was definitely a different type of competition, not focusing so much on big airs, but technical lines and controlled fluidity. Athletes from nine different countries enjoyed the near hero snow conditions on yet another stellar South American freeskiing venue. "Even with just three inches of new snow, it skied like fresh pow," said women's winner Angel Collinson of Snowbird, Utah. Collinson skied an aggressive, fast line, demonstrating her strong ski racing background. She nailed a few small airs, but respected the sketchy snow pack and focused on skiing a more technical line. Men's winner Chopo Diaz, skiing on rental boots, demonstrated his local knowledge. "Chopo chose a creative line with numerous features," said announcer and event coordinator Rodrigo Medina. "From top to bottom, he showed everyone that he was really just enjoying the skiing. He read the terrain of the mountain differently than his competitors, making his run really stand out." "Overall, we were so impressed with the skiing today," said Head Judge Jim Jack. "Everyone respected our desires to run a safe comp and picked lines that were within their comfort zone and in line with the snow conditions. It was a different competition to judge because there were not many line variations, but there were a few features that stuck out and tricks always stick out. All and all it was awesome to see athletes ski aggressive and have fun with the conditions." Las Lenas Resort Marketing Manager Sofia Fernandez Madero was ecstatic about the event. "Las Lenas is so happy to have been able to host this amazing event," Madero said. "All of the athletes performed so well and we're just so happy they were able to come to South America and experience our mountain and the surrounding culture." There is always a sense of camaraderie on the tour and today was no exception. Julien Lopez dedicated his run to friend and fellow competitor Arne Backstrom, who passed away in a mountaineering accident earlier this summer in Peru. "I dedicated my run to Arne and the entire Backstrom family today," said Lopez. "We are going to give this bib (bib #1) to his family because he was number one. He passed away in mountains not too far from here, not too long ago. We miss him here on the tour with us." Following the raucous awards ceremony at the Doma in the Las Lenas Village, Argentina's premier reggae band rocked the party with their stylish reggae beats. Then, in classic Argentinean style, the athletes, event organizers, and sponsors partied till the wee hours of the morning, celebrating this successful international event.

"Everyone respected our desires to run a safe comp and picked lines that were within their comfort zone and in line with the snow conditions. It was a different competition to judge because there were not many line variations, but there were a few features that stuck out and tricks always stick out. All and all it was awesome to see athletes ski aggressive and have fun with the conditions." Las Lenas Resort Marketing Manager Sofia Fernandez Madero was ecstatic about the event. "Las Lenas is so happy to have been able to host this amazing event," Madero said. "All of the athletes performed so well and we're just so happy they were able to come to South America and experience our mountain and the surrounding culture." There is always a sense of camaraderie on the tour and today was no exception. Julien Lopez dedicated his run to friend and fellow competitor Arne Backstrom, who passed away in a mountaineering accident earlier this summer in Peru. "I dedicated my run to Arne and the entire Backstrom family today," said Lopez. "We are going to give this bib (bib #1) to his family because he was number one. He passed away in mountains not too far from here, not too long ago. We miss him here on the tour with us." Following the raucous awards ceremony at the Doma in the Las Lenas Village, Argentina's premier reggae band rocked the party with their stylish reggae beats. Then, in classic Argentinean style, the athletes, event organizers, and sponsors partied till the wee hours of the morning, celebrating this successful international event.

In addition to improvements in lift capacity, the ski area has announced a new unguided season passes. They will be on sale on 8/23 for only $399. They are hooking locals up with a limited amount of early bird season passes on sale at nearly half the lowest price ever offered at any time before. The pass includes 1/2 price helidrops, an additional 14 free ski days at other Colorado Resorts (4 days A Basin, 5 days Monarch, & 5 at Loveland) and $79 guided skiing (standby). The passes, however, have a predetermined limit the price and their price will return to $799 once it's hit. Silverton is a unique ski area located in southwestern Colorado that opened in 2002. Its one chairlift provides access to a high alpine environment that's surrounded by amazing ski lines in nearly every direction. Its terrain is exclusively for the advanced and expert skiers and riders. Silverton operates like no other resort in the country. During certain times of year it provides guided only skiing with small amounts of skiers on a daily basis (similar to a cat or heli operation), and other times of year it allows unguided skiing. The ski area gets over 400" of snow annually and its lift rises to 12,300 feet, providing access to over 1800 acres of expert-only terrain.  For more info: http://www.silvertonmountain.com/.

The eleven towers took just two hours to be installed. Currently the Black Mountain Express chairlift is on schedule to be completed by late September. The next step in the construction is placing the haul rope onto the lift towers. The haul rope is the stretch of cable used to hold the lift chairs as they move up the mountain. The Black Mountain Express is a high speed quad that will replace the resort's former Exhibition Lift. Work on the Black Mountain Express follows a series of improvements over the past few years. In 2007, the resort opened a mid-mountain restaurant named Black Mountain Lodge. The following season Montezuma Bowl was opened, increasing the resort's terrain by 80%. Situated on the continental divide by Colorado's Loveland Pass, A-Basin boasts one of the longest seasons in the country, with opening day usually in October and a season that often lasts into July.
