Buenos Aires. My first time in Argentina, my first time in South America. 15 million people and the city is thriving. It’s a traveller’s dream location.

Ski the East: The Hochgebirge Challenge
The Hochgebirge Challenge began in 1931, running continuously except for a few years because of war and lack of snow, and is recognized as the longest running team event in the US. The race has been an Olympic qualifier event, a National Championship, a National Championship qualifier event, and most recently, the qualifier for the Masters National Championship. The trophy is spectacular and makes you want to kiss it just like the Stanley Cup.
