Skiers Travel 15 Miles To Reach Dreamy Couloir
Sometimes, to access the best or most interesting skiing, you gotta work for it.
Sponsored skier Sascha Geist is no stranger to this rule, proving in a September 7th Instagram post that he isn't afraid of a little suffer fest.
The post documents Gesit and co tackling a massive Argentinian ski ascent.
From the (translated) caption:
"It is difficult to share in a reel a mission of 10 hours, 25 km and more than 1700 meters of positive slope 🥵Let me leave a couple of videos of this beautiful adventure🏔️🕵🏻 ♂️."
Geist makes a good point -- a few Instagram videos can't properly capture the blisters, exhaustion, and elation associated with a successful 25-kilometer ski strike mission.
Still, his post paints a clear enough picture: the skiing in the "La canal de los cóndores" was techy, committing, and thrilling, which is the sort of reward you hope to find at the end of a 1700 meter ascent. I'm aware that this "reward" might not fit every skier's definition of the word -- a vast amount of us skiers get plenty of excitement from a perfectly groomed black diamond.
Keep up the good work, Sascha; someone's gotta ski those imposing Argentinian lines.
