So Anna and I have arrived in Portillo, Chile along with our new friend Chris Taine from NZ. For the most part Chilean drivers are kinda crazy. On our ride up our bus driver didn’t think 120kph was fast enough for a bus so he kept passing cars left and right. When we got to the mountain road on the way to Portillo, he felt that he (and everyone else) didn’t need to wait for trucks and passed very slowly on blind corners. Kinda sketchy eh? Now add in the fact that most vehicles on the highway were semi’s and yah, that was kinda sketchy. Apparently people in Argentina are more agro than drivers in NYC or Boston. Ha, looks like it should be an interesting ride…I think we will be picking seats in the middle of the bus!
After having a pretty uneventful bus ride up we ran across a road block of a overturned semi with it’s trailer torn in half. Yah, what do you think hapened there huh? Anyhoo after driving up 32 switchbacks we arrived at the Portillo Lodge, a beautiful yellow and blue lodge in a steep valley. The peaks here are big, steep, and very scenic. I’m stoked to get out and ski and shoot…..when the spring ice softens up!
