July 3, 2017 by braveskimom

skiing at valle nevada chile

Apologies for the misfire last Monday, when I mistakenly published this as an unfinished post. It’s in much better form now!  Summer is short. And while that’s great news for those of us who love winter and live to ski, it’s bad news for those of us who want to experience everything warm weather offers. […]

October 9, 2014 by braveskimom

friends tio bob's portillo chile

While I may have felt badly about leaving my sons at home when my husband and I skied Portillo in August, any cares my husband might have had evaporated with his first taste of Chilean wine.

Plan Now for Summer Family Skiing at Portillo, Chile

October 6, 2014 by braveskimom

hotel portillo
