So I just arrived in the first foreign country outside of North America in 3 years. I’ve been waiting to go for the past 2 months and I’m super stoked to be out here. I’m shooting a story for Australian and New Zealand Skiing magazine for next Winter’s editorial schedule with Aussie skier Anna Segal. Santiago was a lot of fun. After staying in a hotel pretty well in downtown we cruised around the city on the subway and by foot. Santiago is a pretty cool city of about 7 million people with a lot of bums and street performers that expect money for taking their photos! From bums runing around with a horn and drum to a group of cheerleaders that would perform at the stop lights, they all expect money regardless of if they jumped in front of your camera or not!
The tour operator, Mark Lassiter of www.southamericaski.com hooked us up with one of his friends Vince and his friend Chris Taine where we met up for some dinner and drinks after cruising around town. As it turns out Chris was heading to Portillo and is going to stay with us and ski for a few days too.
More later with a bit of skiing. We have 7 days in Portillo, Chile coming up, then to Mendoza, Argentina, then off Las Lenas, another day in Santiago before I head home to Salt Lake City, Utah.
