Blauvelt's Backcountry - Chile

10:50AM Tue, 29th March 2011

Episode 4 of Blauvelt’s Backcountry is live and direct, and sees Jake road trip around Chile with buddies Eric Jackson and Matt Ladley.

Jake Blauvelt’s killer webisodes roll on with this in-depth look at his crew’s trip to Chile. It’s a mixed bag of highs and lows – they score some of the best snow ever in Nevados de Chillan, only for it to become windblown and bulletproof the next day; they meet the friendliest people but the walkway on the house they stay in collapses and the chimney catches fire; they rip awesome sunset pow but constantly struggle with snow chains.

This is far from your quick-fix interwank webisode – it’s a thorough look at what the life of a pro shredder is really all about. Set yourself aside 20-odd minutes to watch this interesting doco and shreddery mashup.

Snowboarding since 92, writing about snowboarding since 2001, partying like it's 1999. I do a bunch of stuff for the website and print mag. Snowboarding is fun.
