Episode 123: To Chile and Back

Totally Deep Backcountry Skiing Podcast

On Episode 123 of Totally Deep Podcast, Doug Stenclik and Randy Young of www.cripplecreekbc.com bring you the lowdown on the world of uphill and backcountry skiing and boarding. Gear, technique, fashion, jargon, guests, and assorted spray from folks who know how to earn it in the backcountry. The world's best backcountry skiing podcast.

Doug takes a winter reprieve and heads south, way-way south, for some sunshine, pedaling, and horseriding—giddy up. Chile is today's primary destination. With a family trip planned to Chilean Patagonia, our resident fun hog, Doug, sheds light on the excellence and adventure of the region's freeform and manicured mountain bike riding. There's fjords and alpine and all the in-between to take in. But really, you came for the skiing or the potential for skiing. Although it's high summer in Chile, Doug takes a few strolls in the saddle and convinces himself that his next ski adventure should include wrangling horses, packing them up with a not-so-light load, and heading for the hills for some turn-making.

Horse packing may be Doug's new thing, CCBC will not be carrying horse and tackle supplies anytime soon.
