Snowed in at Portillo


After a late night of partying in the Hotel Portillo diso, we awoke to being completely snowed in with over a meter of snow overnight. Heavy snowfall continued all day, with the wind picking up in the afternoon, and the constant rumbling of natural avalanches. The resorts lifts where all but shut down with the exception of the beginner double chair and its 400 vert, but that provided for good times, bottomless pow turns and good times all around.

Looks like we are going to be in for quite the day when the storm finally clears.

  1. Wow I read about it, but to be honest I never watched any picture of it, it was truly a serious event, the climate its changing very rapidly around the world, maybe the 2012 premonition is true.
