Experience The Elation Of Southern Hemisphere Skiing At Valle Nevado
Valle Nevado
As North America's ski season winds down, passionate skiers and snowboarders begin making plans to test their mettle on the slopes of South America where the ski season begins in earnest in June and usually runs to October. Southern Hemisphere skiing often features high-alpine terrain with less emphasis on below-treeline skiing and can have unique tree species and rolling, meadow-like areas below treeline. Southern Hemisphere ski resorts, particularly in Chile, Australia, New Zealand and Argentina can receive ample snow, ideal for powder hounds who chase ideal conditions throughout the year.
Valle Nevado's high altitude helps produce excellent conditions.

Pakistan will not restrict mountaineering expeditions despite the recent deaths of climbers
PESHAWAR, Pakistan -- Pakistan has issued no warnings or restrictions for mountaineering expeditions in the north, an official said Sunday, despite the recent deaths of climbers. Climbers were well aware of the harsh weather and all the other risks and challenges, said Faizullah Faraq, a spokesman for the government of Gilgit-Baltistan, the northern region home to some of the world's highest mountains. 'Despite that, they willingly accept these challenges and come here to attempt these summits.' Chinese climber Guan Jing, 37, was the latest person to perish on one of Pakistan's mountains. She died last Tuesday after being hit by falling rocks on K2, the world's second-highest peak known for its treacherous slopes and extreme weather conditions. Rescue teams recovered her body on Saturday. Her body was still in the mortuary of the Combined Military Hospital in Skardu on Sunday. Contact has been made with Chinese authorities in Islamabad, and 'now it is up to them to make further decisions in this regard,' said Faraq. Jing's death occurred several weeks after German mountaineer and Olympic gold medalist Laura Dahlmeier died while attempting Laila Peak in the Karakoram mountain range. Bodies of foreign climbers who die attempting to summit mountains in Pakistan are typically recovered at the request of their families. But if the family declines a rescue, the remains are left at the spot where the climber died. Faraq said authorities were trying to provide climbers with better infrastructure, rescue facilities, security and a friendly environment. Mountaineering expeditions are the backbone of the local economy, bringing in millions of dollars in direct revenue. A large number of people work on these expeditions from May to September, feeding their families for the whole year with these earnings, he added. Hundreds of climbers try to scale mountains in northern Pakistan every year. two Russians spent six days stranded on a remote peak before they were rescued.

More US tourists visit Canada than Canucks travel to America for first time ever: report
Tourists from the Great White North are giving the US the cold shoulder. In a surprise twist to the ongoing trade war between North American neighbors, July marked the first time ever more Americans road-tripped it to Canada, than vice versa. That month saw 1.8 million US car trips into Canada, compared to 1.7 million Canadian excursions to the Land of the Free, new data from Statistics Canada released Monday found. Cross-border trips between Canada and the US slowed in July, normally the busiest month of the year. Bloomberg via Getty Images Travel in both directions is slumping, however, as trade tensions between the two allies boil over. US visits to its northern neighbor dropped 7.4% from last July — normally the busiest travel month of the year — while Canadian road trips to America nosedived by a staggering 37%. It marked the sixth consecutive month of year-over-year declines in tourism, following President Trump's February announcement that he was implementing tariffs on Canada, while also joking that he planned to make the country the 51st state, which led to Canucks cancelling their US vacations in droves. 1.8 million Americans visited Canada by car in July. AMVShutter – The two countries blew past an Aug. 1 trade-deal deadline and are now locked in a tit-for-tat tariff battle. The US is targeting Canadian goods not covered by the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement with tariffs of up to 50%, and Canada imposing 25% counter-tariffs on billions of US exports.
