Had an killer day at Ski Arpa today, the first day of August.

Arpa is a tiny little cat operation a couple hours out of Santiago de Chile. I'd highly recommend it if you have the time, inclination, and money.

Its pure skiing:

"Trail map."


"Parking lot."


"Base lodge."


"Avalanche control."


"Views." (This is the Mercedario group - a nod to the Skoogs.)


"Skiing."


"Home run."




I was hoping to tack a day at Arpa on the end of my Portillo trip. Looks great if still a bit bony. Here's hoping for snow for both you and I.

Yeah Drew, go champ!

Keep 'em coming buddy....

The "Parking Lot" photo reminds me of a few ski areas in Argentina and Chile. Keep the reports coming.

How do they feel about speedos and bikinis on the slopes?

Keep the reports coming, thanks Drew.

Dig the parking lot shot. 

Looks like good times.....

:)It's funny this post shows up as I'm headed to South America on Wednesday to hit Las Lenas, Portillo, Ski Arpa, and Nevado. Let me know if any of you folks are in the area. I'll be there from the 13th- 28th. cheers!
