I am planning on taking a trip down to you hemisphere this august, necesito sus consejos.  I am trying to decide wher eto go, i want to get teh most for my money.  Cual resorte tiene las pistas mejores?  I am looking to arrive on a friday, get to my ski destination, ski sunday monday and tuesday, then wander around teh rerst of the trip, or maybe just ski more days if conditions are prime.  Entiendo que eres chileno, pero cual pais tiene las condiciones mejores?  Quiero en las primeras semanas de agosto.  gracias por su ayuda.

The natural hits and cornices are the best part of skiing down in Chile. Just trails filled with natural jumps, its really sick.

hey man, well you will arrive in santiago for sure...then you cn just stay in santiago and you can take some buses that take you to the resorts for like 15 dollars and you have 3 choices valle nevado la parva and el colorado, three sick resorts, igf you like you can go to portillo also wich is another sick resort a little biut different less crowd more powder en backcountry... the conditions are really sick very good snow so don't worry about the snoww..and also igf you want to can go to the south aand do some skiing in places like chillan and volcan villarrica wich are aslo very good but you are going to be a little isolted cause there is more distance between them

An expert right here.

All these places are dope. You haven't truly skied till you've been that far above the timberline.

I wish I could go back but I have to work and take classes this summer. Oh well, I'll be going down to La Serena with my friends over my next winter break where one of my friends has a condo.

thanks for the advice.  It seems like Chile would be a cheaper trip than going to Argentina.  i guess i just have to watch online for a really cheap flight.  any advice with that?
