Day 2: Is it hot in here or is it just me?

Things are getting quite warm here in Chile. It must have been about 45 degrees by the time Dad and I got off the mountain. Of course Dad went in earlier than me because they had a 2 for 1 deal on Geritol in the clinic downstairs.

I have never skied in such a spectacular (and barren) landscape. Picture skiing on Mars but with snow, spanish and plenty of very attractive South American women. So far Dad has managed to keep up which has been a great joy for me. I have pointed out some rather steep chutes that I would like to take once my legs stop feeling like Jello but I have often been met with a stern "No way!" from the elder statesman of our group.

We'll see how it goes as the week progresses but I have been enjoying myself tremendously thus far.
