We are finally living the dream of the seed planted over two years ago when we started our Masters program. All along our plan was to head to the Southern Hemisphere and ski during the hot Boise summer to reward ourselves for completing our degrees. Pictured is the Valle Nevado ski resort located in the Andes above Santiago, Chile. We arrived yesterday, skiing a few hours in cloudy and windy conditions. This morning however was the DAY. We awoke to a blue bird day and enjoyed great snow and midwinter conditions as we explored the mountain. A very unique ski experience, there are NO trees! Just a massive white ski area where at times it is difficult to tell what is a run and what isn´t. On a powder day I suppose EVERY thing becomes a skiable run. We booked a week package here, so we have enjoyed unpacking and moving into our room, and finally feel like we are on a vacation rather than a trip.
Hi Jessica & Bill!
ReplyDeleteThought you'd like to hear the temp today in Boise is 100! Snow and skiing right now sound heavenly. It has been really fun reading about all your adventures...what a fabulous summer you've had! It's hard to believe school starts this month. If you have a gathering to share your slides...please invite me...I would love to hear all about your trip in person!
Take care and have a safe return to reality! "Re-entry" is always difficult after such an awesome experience!

Congratulations on your Masters' degrees! :) I'm glad you finally can "relax". Enjoy the week! We are enjoying 100+ temps here with a cooling trend happening later in the week. Have a very "cool" week! :)
