The cordillera has been getting a bit of snow in the past few weeks making their presence striking against the cityskape of Santiago. We were psyched that we made the decision to bring our skis back with us from our last trip to the US.
We hit the road late last Saturday evening towards the Cajon del Maipo and parked Scarleta where the road ends in a high pile of snow. We woke to a bluebird day!
Despite the fact we walked about 2k (in our ski boots) before even putting on our skis, it was fantastic to be surrounded by the Andes - and all that snow!
We got some turns in, basked in the sun, and logged several kilometers of skinning. Our afternoon finished with some "jugo natural" and a beautiful sunset.
