The Spanish crew brings us this video from the greatest ski resort below the equator, Las Leñas, Argentina.

Thanks to Dorian Densmore for putting together and sending us this awesome little spotlight video of one of Las Leñas’ local legends: Alejo Sanchez.

From Dorian:

Alejo Sanchez sleeps less, snowboards more, and goes bigger in life than most anyone I have ever met. He is a super nice guy who has lived his whole life in Argentina, shredding during our (in the northen hemi), summer months. His strong motivation to work hard in the mountains, combined with his love for nighttime activities, make him a really fun person to hang out with, if you can keep up.

This video shows what it is like to spend one day as Alejo, and follow him through Las Lanas ski resort, his home in the wintertime.

Nice one, guys!

This video is the second part of the adventures of Dorian Densmore in South America. Check out the first part here. Once again, Dorianito is out shredding some steep, narrow couloirs with friends. Riders are Dorian, Matthias Weichselbaumer, and myself. Editing by Dorian, Adri Millan, and Josh the Vegetable. Yeah Dorian, looking forward to the next installment.

This video features the adventures of Dorian Densmore in South America. It shows a typical day in Las Leñas, Argentina: a mission to ski a double secret hidden couloir. It has good music, good vibes, and good skiing. The video was edited by Dorian Densmore, with the assistance of Adri Millan and Joshi the Vegetable.

Nice work, Dorianito!

This is Matthias Weichselbaumer’s wrap up video from the 2012 season in Las Leñas, Argentina. It is filled with stoked, satisfied skiers and snowboarders. If watching this doesn’t mak you happy, then you are probably a bad person.

Nice one, Matthias!
