The Southern Hemisphere season is finding its legs. Chile dumped over two meters in the last week and the bases are building fast at Valle Nevado, Portillo, and La Parva, even if the snowpack is still consolidating. Argentina's about to get interesting — 28cm forecast in the next three days for Las Leñas and Catedral, which should start opening up real terrain. New Zealand picked up 8cm overnight with more on the way, playing the slow-build game it plays every July. Meanwhile, the Northern Hemisphere is doing what it does in late July: baking. Flash floods just washed out the road to Eagle Point in Utah, a billion-dollar Aspen lodge sold at a 73% haircut, and a trials rider set a world record riding backwards down a ski jump in Hakuba. Summer is chaos. The snow is south. Follow it.
