MY DAUGHTER PASCALE IN CHILE

Hello my dear friends,

My daughter Pascale lives in Chile, she went snowboarding this weekend up in the Andes Mountains with her best friend Anysol.
Inspired by the modern European resorts, Valle Nevado was built by a French company at the foot of the imposing El Plomo Peak. After its inauguration in 1988, it immediately became an absolute on all itineraries for tourists in Chile and South America.
Today, under the administration of a Chilean business group, it continues progressing towards the future ever seeking to satisfy the most demanding guests.
miles from Santiago's International airport, Valle Nevado ski resort is in the heart of the Andes offering more than twenty-three thousand acres of skiable terrain. Host to the World Cup of Snowboard again last year, packs all of the mountain, services and comforts you are accustomed to with high-speed detachable chairlift, a ski shop full of carving skis, top notch ski-pros that speak a dozen languages, helicopter skiing / riding, South America's only Super Half-Pipe, and access to three mountains back to back to back.With more than 23.000 acres of skiable domain Valle Nevado is the largest ski resort in the southern hemisphere. With scores of groomed slopes, heaps of fresh powder, a multitude of bumps and entire Andean meadows of off-piste, you'll find a world of skiing adventure to be explored in this ski resort.
SnowBoarding
Valle Nevado hosted the first event on the 2003/2004 Snowboard FIS World Cup circuit- the only southern hemisphere stop on the tour. Be prepared for world-calibre competition. With more than 9,000 acres of riding, more than thirty-five groomed trails and superb Andean meadows of off-piste terrain, this is the largest resort for riding in the summer months. It offers for the second season, the hemisphere's first Super Half-Pipe.
Here are some cool pictures she sent me.
