Ray Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 So Bola and I went to Chile as well. Yes, we had a really great time! One question arrised right after we arrived and drove to Portillo, Fin, have you been in Chile before? And possible not behaved yourself very well? Might this be the result? I mean, now I know why you didn’t want to join us. Bad boy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Posted August 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 Fin, not that we see these signs all over Mallorca now as well... I hope. Btw, the Bomber bootbag and boardbag worked out perfect Ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowman Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 A pic of the legendary Spoon Man. I thought I was the only one with pictures of the mythical beast. Think Snow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fin Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 Man, am I getting beat up over here! Nobody expects the "Spoon-Man"! His three strengths are: speed, power, superior mind, and incredible abs. Sorry, his FOUR strengths are...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shrederjen Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 Are there more Portillo pics, somewhere? Of the many times Ive gone to Chile to snowboard (okay, maybe 5), I have not hit Portillo. Have gone to Valle/El Colorado every time and Termas once. Would like a trip report on Portillo.....:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have gone to Valle/El Colorado every time and Termas once. Would like a trip report on Portillo.....:) I don't have any riding pics at all, just some scenic pics I can post. We only hit Portillo for 3 days and made our way down to Termas for an additional 7 days. Portillo was fun, very family oriented resort. Great food! We also got lucky. Storm left 2 feet the day before we arrived, so we still had some freshies. Last day some good carving as well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Posted August 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 Here are some pictures from the trip The most important items, boarding pass and my bootbag with boots and bindings! Bola and a friendly helper from Hertz getting our bags on the car We took the tour via Vina Del Mar... ...because we needed a nice seafood lunch in Con Con. The next moring we left quite early and arrived at the pass up to Portillo in time to realize that the pass is actually closed! The told us it's due to snow! 5 hours later we mad it up. In the meantime... ...we are taking the opportunity to get our powder boards ready… Took these pics the second day, so after the storm disapeared... Always important, a nice dinner with a nice bottle of Chilean wine! What you can't see in this picture are the Pisco glasses in front of us. A pic I took from the train I took going back to Santiago from Chillan In regards to Portillo, I would for sure go back, but also like to explore other resorts. I think it's best to split up the trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shrederjen Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 I found myself two fisting it once or twice at dinner, with both Pisco and red wine...... :o I do agree that it is fun to break up a trip with more than one resort, however, I never really did get the urge to go else where, while we were at Valle Nevado. Probably, since the conditions were so fantastic! Glad your trip appears as great and fun as ours was. Cant wait until the next one! Thanks for sharing the pics!
