Behind The Posters

This past September I went on a solo mission to explore the far side of a big peak in Chile.  My camp site couldn't have been better.  I was up in the snow, overlooking a lake, surrounded by big peaks and the weather was perfect.  I keep saying to myself, "This is why I come to Chile."  At this moment I realized that this is also what I want to share with people who come here to ski.  

While touring those days, I kept thinking of cheeky phrases I feel capture the essence of adventure in Chile.  I decided to make a series of posters, which I will put on the Chile Powder Adventures Facebook page throughout the year.

The idea is really simple:  I am not trying to recreate a "northern" experience in the southern experience.  If you love skiing in Vail or Deer Valley and really want something like that in the month of August, I am not your guide.  If you are looking for a manicured experience where everything is simple and cushy, my trips are not for you.

Since 2004 I have been spending the entire season in Chile.  For eleven years I have explored the Andes and skied in places where few people ski.  And this place still throws curveballs at me.  That's the fun of it.  This is what I want to share.  I serve up adventures.  I have been there long enough to be pretty good at hitting the curveball.  This should give my guests a little piece of mind that as they come down the pipe, we're not going to strikeout.  

Chile Powder Adventures is the perfect name for my business.  Sometimes we get a little more powder.  Sometimes we get a little more adventure.   The environment here is perfect for adventures – big and small.  We experience things that are impossible to get anywhere else in the world.  I think this is the reason to ski in Chile.  Do something that can't be done elsewhere.  Let me create the perfect adventure for you.
