Skis Back On My Feet
Posted on Thursday, August 27th, 2009
It takes a few planes, trains, and automobiles to get to Las Leñas, but it is worth it. Leñas received 9 feet of snow last week and the coverage is really good. The only problem is that there seems to be a giant fan blowing full blast on the Andes. And this is what it feels like.
Despite the gail force winds, the Las Leñas Big Mountain Competition is going off. I was disappointed to hear that it is for men only, but Griffin Post and Drew Stoecklein are representing for the USA. Griffin skied into second and Drew fourth yesterday. The boys have one more run today, hopefully for the win!
