Spanish professional skier Adrià Millan has returned South America this summer to take on his familiar stomping grounding in Argentina. Millan has been in Las Leñas for the July and August and has been spending his time stacking footage skiing the upper peaks including Cerro Martín, Entre Rios, and Torrecillas.

“Some of the most technical descents I’ve filmed yet. Shot in July and August 2025, with a thinner snowpack than usual, these runs demand precision, planning, and focus. Narrow chutes, exposed spines, and steep faces.” -Adrià Millan

Theses zones aren’t new to Millan but he continues to refine his approach to these mountains and challenge himself along the way:

“Sometimes the challenge isn’t finding new terrain, but redefining your lines on familiar faces. Pushing boundaries while reducing surprises. That’s where progress lives.“
