Skiing South America

Just back from a ski trip of a lifetime to Chile thanks to LAN Airlines, Valle Nevado, Portillo , Termas de Chillan and the Ritz Carlton Santiago! I am not sure what to do first, blog about the trip or book my flights for next year. Fantastic skiing , incredible views, extraordinary food, world class wines, and mesmorizing Latin culture all make for more more than just a ski vacation. Each resort offers a unique experience with too much to talk about in this post. Call or email me for the mouth watering details.

Valle Nevado Update after the earthquake

Valle Nevado is on schedule for the 2010 ski season!
(dates are June 11 to September 24, 2010)

In our close-knit ski industry community, there has been obvious concern about the impacts of the massive Chile earthquake on the resort community. Fortunately, there is good news - most resorts have been minimally affected.
In Valle Nevado, damage is reported to be only cosmetic or incidental ~ things like broken windows and lamps.
Tourism is a key component of Chile's recovery and we know our partners and friends at all the Chile ski resorts are working hard to make the necessary repairs before the start of the South American ski season. We're hard at work, too, to bring you a great Chile ski experience.

Ski Valle Nevado this summer!

My client just recently returned from a week in Valle Nevado. She had nothing but good things to say! A fantastic trip...snowboarding was awesome, had snow the entire time and the service was excellent from everyone. Her only negative comment was the cost of snacks and water....she suggested picking up these things before heading up to Valle Nevado.....Water alone was US12.00 for a medium sized bottle. Check out the pic of her friend....awesome shot!
