A month spent in a van with a dude.
Adam Clark and I drove a 2wd rental 5000 kilometers from Santiago, Chile to the end of the southernmost road in the mainland world.
Along the way, we climbed and skied volcanos.
Well, almost to the end. Four kilometers from the end of the dirt track, which stops at the tip of South America, we got our van stuck while crossing a small creek.
So we didn't quite make it.
But at least we climbed and skied lots of awesome mountains. We would see a mountain from the road, say, "That looks nice," and find our way safely up and down it.
And I got to ski on my birthday--October 5--for the first time.

http://www.epictv.com When winter feels like autumn and spring is kind of summery, you'd be 'seasonally confused' too. Brody Leven is on an adventure of a lifetime, driving over 5000 kilometers through Patagonia, getting the best lines of his life.
http://www.epictv.com When Brody Leven climbed up Antuco he thought it was the most beautiful place he'd ever ski. Then he saw Velluda. Through his unpredicted unplanned unbelievable trip to ski peaks in Patagonia, Brody bags his first two volcanoes. Sketchy snow doesn't dampen the experience, nor do their smelly boots.
More Patagonia, More Brody Leven, More Adventure in the Van
We saved the best for last. 2000 kilometers, skiing under the giant and iconic Fitz Roy. Brody's best ski descent ever on Punta Velluda and more time spent living out of a Van. This was the most epic road trip of our lives
