CHILE VALLE NEVADO
This trip was done in August which is winter time in CHILE. The ANDES are huge tree-less mountains with gret skiing. Mostly sunny days gave lots of opportunities for some great shots. I can't wait to return to CHILE. This ski resort is called VALLE NAVADO. They also offer a Heli Ski operation. It's located about 65 km from Santiago and there are about that many switchbacks getting up to the hotels. Enjoy.

These were tight, steep turns with big mirrors mounted into the hillsides on the turns and lots of makeshift memorials along the sides. There were not too many guardrails that I saw. I shot this from a neighboring peak that is part of the ski area.
