It's hard to miss the fact that I love skiing. I am obsessed with the sport. By late August/early September I am ancy for ski season to start again.
My new favorite aspect of Chile? Skiing in August. My ultimate birthday dream has been fulfilled.
The Tufts group met up at 8 am Friday morning, rented gear, loaded the vans, and headed toward the Andes. We had recieved multiple warnings about the curvy road and carsickness. As a vomitphobe I was freaked out about other people getting sick on the way up. Fortunately the van went slow and the view was distracting and nobody got sick. There were 40 nearly vertical switchbacks with steep drop-offs on both sides.
Unfortunately Farrellones is the lamest resort I have ever seen. I remembered to pack my positive attitude (skiing is always awesome!) along with my retro $4 ski suit and I had a great time! Lots of my friends had never skiied before and I got to teach people how to ski and I was able to take hilarious pictures of 20 yr olds yardsaling in neon ski suits.
Hopefully I will get a chance to go skiing for real in a few weeks. If not, I had a great Andean ski experience!
