Portillo is Awesomely Rad
We can't get over this place. Today was an average ski day down here in Chile and it kicked ass.
The place is incredible. The vibe is pure skiing. You can't help but be overwhelmed with ski culture having tea in the sittin parlor after lunch, one couch away from the Herminator and the rest of the Austrian alpine team. Those guys look like a comando unit. They could overthrow a small government. It looks as thought they are grooming a downhill course for them tomorrow.
The mountains are unreal. So big! The pics and video will be great, but they won't do it justice. You can't capture the Portillo experience, you have to come here. No matter how tired you are, you can't help but push yourself with the likes of McConkey and Davenport skiing around and showing what lines are possible and readily availible. I overheard the director of snow safety and the owner talking after breakfast that Shane wasn't going to be able to parachute out of the heli today because they don't have the appropriate lisence for people to ski dive. Are you kidding me?
If you like awesomely rad stuff, start saving and get down here. We head back north tomorrow and start saving for next year on Monday.
