This is the first of many updates. I will always use this same thread so please scroll to my last entry.

My friend and I traveled for 24 hours and landed in Santiago yesterday. We are going to spend the next 90 days in Chile and Argentina filming "Skiing in South America for Gringos", and interactive informational dvd to show the foreigner all there is to offer before planning a trip.
please follow along with us as we explore the skiing in the summer months... More friends will join us along the way. crazy things are bound to happen.

http:\\skipatrolfilms.com

Find out where and how to easily ski in south america during the summer months...

more updates to follow. Any information is more then welcome.

wow thats actually really cool since I plan on doing it sometime in the near future. I'll be in south america in the fall, but not for skiing. Just for living and such. Good luck!

today was a great day. skied a place called valle nevado and it was huge. large terrain and about a foot of fresh from two days ago. snow was still dry and untracked in some places. a bunch of huge drifts let us do plenty of slashes. staying in hostel near the slopes that is really cool. I havent spent a dime since showing up yesterday. food is included in rent. about 40 bucks a night...

don't know what is up with the site. it wont work if you type www. in front of skipatrolfilms.com

i'll work on it also i will work on the blog idea

does anyone read those things

be sure to adapt to accent changes.

for example, if you were to say como te llamas, (how do you call yourself/ what is your name) which would normally be pronounced como-tay-yahmahs would be pronounced como-te-schahmahs in argenitina, uruguar, and paraguay.
