CHILE - The Snow!

Our snow adventures in Chile involved 3 superb days of snowbaording at 2 different resorts, and an overnight hike to a run-down hut high in the mountains. Despite catching the very tail end of the ski season, there was still plenty of snow, blue skies and excellent riding. The resorts are mainly above the tree line making for wide open runs and beautiful scenery of the endless Andes.

As for our snow hike, we were ill prepared for the amount of snow we would have to walk through, which meant we were sinking knee deep into the snow and sporting wet, cold feet by the end of it. The hut which was our destination- ´Shangrila´ was literally on it´s last legs and didn´t provide much shelter at all. We were tentless, so had a night out under the stars, in the snow, at below 0*. Despite feeling like squatters, it was a magical little place.
