Hello friends! We finished our nine-day volunteer project with Un Techo Para Chile and have made it to the mountains, and The FullCircle crew is excited to be back in the snow. For Matt and Taylor, who are coming back from season-ending injuries, these last few days have been especially sweet.

Both central and southern Chile have had unusually strong winters leaving us with a deep base and good coverage. However, a large temperature gradient and windy weather have made the snowpack quite firm. We have been playing in the clouds and fog the last few days and are having a blast but hoping for a storm to bring us the goods.

We finally have our computers and an Internet connection and are excited to present more updates as soon as possible.

In the meantime, below are some shots of Matt, Taylor and Jack from our time thus far at Nevados de Chillan. Enjoy!
