Heavy sun and low snow has left Valle Nevado ski area reduced to bare rock, a lost season. Lifts shut down and skiers flee towards Santiago in droves. Hot tubs and pisco prevail for the DPS crew. But one morning they awake to find condors filling the sky--scavenging to prepare for an oncoming storm. While the resort hunkers down and weathers the whiteout, they disappear into clouds that boil with a meter of snow. The desert becomes an ethereal sanctuary, dissolving into the sky.
Summer is a skier's season to dream. It's also the season of DPS' birth: the ideas that drive the brand were nurtured while hunkered down in large storms and on pow-chasing missions in South America. Summer is also the time when skiers wallow in heat, and work hard to save enough money to take the next season off to travel and ski. For some, it's the time to dream of your perfect quiver, and indulge in heat-induced daydreams of cold smoke. For Dreamtime '14, the doorman returns. Watch how heat-induced daydreams of South American cold smoke take hold, as he toils through mid-summer heat. And don't forget to shop Dreamtime, the only time DPS skis are discounted for the 14/15 season, and your chance to take advantage of an array of special release models and one-time offers.
