Latin American Ski & Surf

I live for adventure, seek the thrill, the rush of life… here’s some of my preferred spots to get the adrenaline running in Latin America.  TH

Chile is a well-known skiing and snowboarding destination, wide-open, above-treeline terrain, serious pow, and a lack of crowds are a major draw, as is heli-skiing, which is world-class.

Valle Nevado is South America’s largest ski resort.
