Leaving Santiago

Had another great week skiing with Will Wasson of Snofari Tours, and the Whistler Senior Ski Team. Skied Valle Nevados, El Colorado, La Parva and a day at Ski Arpa snowcat skiing. I had skied all these areas with the first week with CASA tours, but the weather was very different. First week had plenty of frest snow, which fell just as I arrived in Chile, particularly the first day which was at El Arpa. Yesterday, we skied La Parva as it was snowing. Visibility was very poor at times, but some of the time it was clear. There were very few people skiing. Mostly our group of 8 were the only skiers visible at one time. Will led me alone, down an awesome out of bounds area on the next to last run. My tele'ing has improved a lot, and I was pleased that even in poor visibility, my balance was very good. I was sort of hoping to get snowed in, but it doesn't look like that is going to happen, so it's back to San Diego tonight.
