We headed for Valle Nevado today, which promised to provide us with some of the more challenging runs in Chile. Unfortunately, the weather had other ideas.
You can´t always get what you want, that certainly rang true today. I wanted to be able to see a few meters in front of myself for at least a minute. Not today. I wanted a heated bus ride home that didn´t take forever and day. Not today. Instead I got 2 miserable runs and 3 hours in a cheap high school style cafeteria playing cards (the worst part was that there was a classy bar just upstairs serving free coffee and cake, with black jack and pool tables) but we didnt find out about that bar until we were about to leave the mountain (An aussie girl in our bus had found it and had been quietly getting pissed there and munching on free cake while we were out in the blizzard searching for her).
The runs closed early due to the poor conditions, unfortunately the only road off the mountain closed too due to an accident at around the same time. We then had to wait in a bus without heating in the middle of a snowstorm from about 4pm until about 9pm until the road cleared. We got back to Santiago at around 11pm and ate crappy pizza to mourne the worst day ever.
