Last Sunday I got off the KM cable car and walked the 150m of flat before the run down to Plata Rosa, 70km wind, -17°C and snowing lightly. With the ice crystals blowing about the from of me was frozen solid by the time I tarted riding including both sides of my sunglasses. I had to ride the entire run in extremely low visibiity with the naked eye!!!



Now you know why the rest of us carry a backpack with at least a pair pair of goggles and a Buff stashed )
It's all right having a "minimalist" outlook, until the weather changes :(

I normally take both goggles and sunglasses, but forgot the goggles in my rush to get out!!

Actually I have been looking at investing a BlackDiamond backpack. Still undecided, I would probably leave it somewhere.

Should get a helipro if you can, good size and good compression if you have nothing in it...
