Two years ago I went skiing in September in Chile, last year in August. This year I tried even earlier - last week of July and first week of August. Sadly, we did not get any snowfall the entire 2 weeks, but the skiing was pretty good anyway. As always great to catch up with old friends and meet new friends as well. A couple nights in Santiago at the end was a fun break too. Even better, I randomly met up with a ski club member from back 10-15 years ago and we hung out and skied together and had a night out in Santiago. Great surprise.
