As promised, here is a glimpse of our epic summer ski adventure to Chile. This photo was taken as a suckerhole passed over Valle Nevado. In ski parlance, a "suckerhole" is what we call a fleeting patch of blue sky that travels across an otherwise gloomy horizon. Twenty minutes later, visibility was reduced to a few feet. Beautiful.

Hi Paul, I love this photo but love the term “suckerhole” even more. I grew up skiing in the Sierras, and encountered many a suckerhole, just didn’t know the term. I’m going to remember it for the next time I go skiing, though I’m going to hope the weather doesn’t allow me to use it. I am a “fair weather” skier… or at least, like to be.

PS. Man, skiing is Chile! Life is good, eh?
Life is good indeed (this ski adventure was three years in the planning). Any excuse to ski is a damned good excuse by my measure.
Chile isn’t, or wasn’t, much for “fair weather” during our trip. As you can see by the lack of vegetation, there isn’t so much as a leaf on the high mountains to get in the way of the weather. Temperatures weren’t bad, but the wind was another matter ... constant high winds, at times approaching 70mph. Weather patterns changed with the blink of an eye.
Wow you should have enjoyed the ski, great shot by the way
