Jake Blauvelt and Nate Avila
“Ride along with Jake Blauvelt and get to know the people who made this snowboard adventure possible. ‘Experiencing Chile is a true treat and getting to roam the Andes on snowmobiles with Dos Tiempos and stay with a local family in Lo Valdes made it that much better. Can’t wait to get down there again!’ Said Jake. Featuring Cristian Wehrhahn & Paulo Audisio of Dos Tiempos guide service.
Directed by Nathan Avila of Collab Films.” – COLLAB FILMS
Ingrained - YETI
Growing up as a ranch kid in Wyoming, Mark Carter was raised on small-town realities like fixing a fence and branding cattle. Not exactly a typical candidate for a professional snowboarder.

Ride - In Due Time

Snowboarder Magazine - RIDE SNOWBOARDS IN CHILE
The terrain that the Dos Tiempos boys have at their fingertips is hard to explain. From wide open glacial fields in the high alpine to pinner-tight chutes and couloirs zigging and zagging down the faces of these peaks, it's remarkable what they have access to on a daily basis. Blauvelt and Beaman were equally impressed with the terrain, and it showed in their productivity.
“The opportunity on this trip is like a dream come true, I´ve got the locals taking me to all the best spots so, yeah it couldn´t be much better so...”

The Book of John J. s2e6 Super Bueno - Red Bull
John Jackson visits Chile and Argentina with Jake Blauvelt, heading up from the 100°f desert to freezing cold of the Andes. Hike and drive along with them as they find everything from the fresh powder of Chile to Argentina’s rockier terrain.
Arbor´s Bryan Iguchi and Mark Carter
“Chile is an incredible place for a multitude of reasons. Between the amazing terrain, the friendly people, and unique culture, it’s a place without equal anywhere in the world. This atmosphere draws in plenty of riders, with the Arbor crew gladly answering that call. Bryan Iguchi and Mark Carter make the trek to experience some awesome zones and explore the local culture, resulting in the latest Video Log from Arbor.”

Huellas Snow Video Chile - El Colorado Soldires
Our friend from Chile, Paulo Audisio sent over the trailer for Huellas, a film he has been working on with Manuel Diaz, Cristian Wehrhahn, Jaime Venturelli, and Stone Parker as they travel the globe. Footage was collected in Chile, Russia, India, Japan, and Stevens Pass. If the impressive rider list and exotic locales isn’t enough to win you over, the description on the video is below:
Esto es una pequeña muestra de lo que han sido algunos de nuestros viajes en busca de las montañas soñadas, los terrenos inexplorados, y toda la cultura que rodea el misticismo de vivir nuestra pasión en la nieve. Esperamos caminar y dejar bien marcadas nuestras Huellas por el mundo y en un futuro presentarles esta gran producción.
The satanic penguin
Manuel Diaz is Chile’s biggest snowboard star, Visiones is his video, and it showcases his power on a snowboard. Most of it is filmed in Alaska and elsewhere, but it shows the way a snowboard should be ridden, and it will inspire you to go bigger next time, and that is why it is relevant on our website. He is a Farellones local and visits us very often.
GO BIG MANUEL!
