The sun is coming out now though. Hopefully the road will open tomorrow when we're scheduled to head up.

Arrived in a cool damp Santiago this morning. Apparently, that means more snow in the mountains.

The sun is coming out now though. Hopefully the road will open tomorrow when we're scheduled to head up.

Made it and had time for a few warm up runs. Hopefully will remember how to ski by tomorrow.

Tough visibility today after the beautiful day yesterday, but that was accompanied by a bit more snow so I wasn't complaining.

Nice. So glad you got the goods.
If you see Robin Barnes, wish her a happy birthday!

Bit of a flat light day today, so not many pictures. Cruised around for most of the morning, then N and I joined a group that chased around Chris Davenport for a few runs. Also finally had a chance to say hi to Michael and Robin. Supposedly more snow coming next 2 days.

I'm betting if we see a close up of your kids' faces we'll see huge grins!

Sun poked out around lunchtime, but low viz and cold winds sent the rest of the family in early. I joined up with the 'Ambassadors' group again led by Chris Davenport and Robin Barnes and ended up skiing laps with Robin till the lifts closed.https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-WNvWdzajVRE/UDbW2cl7OZI/AAAAAAAAAqE/GTuWwHubCK4/s576/IMG_0948.JPG

You know, I'm a little jealous........just saying.

Only had a few inches from the storm but it was still really nice. M referred to it as powder-dise.

Scott,
Great to see your trip is living up to the dream conditions. You da man, as you brought snow to Tahoe and now South America.
