"Next Year"

8/18/2014

If I had a buck for every time someone told me, this year, that they will "definitely ski with me – next year."  I would buy land down here and retire.  I know... Chile is more expensive than most people imagine at first.  And as a certified guide, with insurance, a lot invested in my business, and the desire to provide high-quality experiences for my guests, my service is not "cheap" either.  So I do understand when people are surprised at the cost of skiing here. 

While you're waiting for next year, this is what has happened this year.  So far:
My single biggest piece of advice is this:  Don't wait another year.  "Time is not money; because once lost, time cannot be regained."  After eleven-seasons in Chile, I am confident in two things:  1. Climate change is taking its toll here.  The northern areas are much drier and hotter.  The southern zones still get precipitation, but it is often warmer.  Winter will look much different here in the near future.  2. There are still some great "stashes" to enjoy; but the pressure from snowmobiles and helicopters is increasing.  

If skiing in Chile is on your bucket list, I would do it in 2015.  Every year that you say "next year" will be one more regret you have.
