Have been having a great time. Back in Santiago for two nights. Today we snowcat skied at El Arpa. Eleven skiers, two guides and 12,000 acres or so of terrain. Rob, the head guide, was ski patrolman at Solitude. Great view of Aconcagua http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aconcagua, the tallest mountain outside the Himalyas at 23,000 feet. Also great 360 degree view of the Andes. I´ve taken something like 700 pictures on my point and shoot and my Nikon D300.
Skied with Jean-Luc Brassard http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Luc_Brassard at El Arpa, also ran into Hermann Maier http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermann_Maier in a McDonalds along the highway. Saw his Peak Performance shirt like the one that Kim bought me, so I introduced myself to him, with out knowing who he is!!
Feeling stronger every day. On my tele´s every day. Tomorrow we go to Valle Nevados. Staying at a nice condo at El Colorado. La Parva is right next door too. Today was my 101st day of skiing this year!
