Chile - August 2007
In August 2007 we ran a snowboarding and skiing trip to the resorts in the Chilean Andes. Weather and snow conditions were generally excellent.
Off-piste boarding after a big dump of powder at La Parva.
...and the same again four days later at Chillan.
to finish the trip we made an ascent (and snowboard descent) of the very active Volcan Villarrica just above the Villarrica-Pucon resort.
We'll do it all again next year, if you'd like to join us have a look at the Andes website for more information.
