Ski El Colorado

First day on skis since the end of April. We headed to El Colorado, 90 minutes on a zig zag rode east of Santiago.
The conditions were not epic, but there’s snow and we wanted to take it easy on the first day anyway.

At the end of the day, we agreed that it was an awesome “bad day”. Overcast and not a lot of snow, but we are just happy we get to ski!

It took forever to get down the hill to get back and as we past one of the 180 turns we found out why; horses are blocking the road! I’m slow as usual and only got their butts.

As there were free overnight street parking after 8pm, we stopped by a sports mall on the way home to check out prices on ski gear (pretty much the same price as in the US), waste some time and a cup of coffee at the Burgers Beers and Boards cafe.

We had no special requests for dinner so we just stepped into the first place that was open and seemed ok. I got two local IPA’s, one with a terrible pour.

We are staying in the Barrio Brasil neighborhood, they have a street called Santa Monica, photo needed.
