"First time skiing in August. First ski and peak attempt in Chile. We got turned around twice trying to skin up the bunny hill and then a run they were setting up for a downhill. So by 11am we finally got word we had to go up a chair to the backcountry. Also told that 2 of the 3 volcanos (fortunately the lower ones) were offlimits with jail time as one was erupting. We had to adjust to going from summer into winter and remember the days were shorter. So we set a 4:30pm turn around time and at that point RobH and I were 300m from the summit. A great ski out hitting the car at 6pm and sunset 20 minutes later." — alexjoseph • Aug 30, 2019
