Snowboarding Chile Instructional Adventure
|
Snowboard Chile Instructional Adventure for intermediate to advanced intermediate snowboarders learning new freeride skills and freestyle tips. A guided road trip riding the best resorts of the Chilean Andes, including an epic day at Arpa SnowCats Resort.
We start in the Farellones village giving us access to Valle Nevado, La Parva and Colorado with 25,000 acres of dry Andean powder and freeride terrain.
After a scenic road journey through central Chile, visit Chillan's market for a taste of the local Indian and rural culture. Then it's three freeriding days with your certified instructors on Volcano Chillan.
Finally to end the trip we spend two nights in the big capital city of Santiago, recently ranked top place to visit by The New York Times with amazing nightlife, plus our last day at Chile's premier cat-ski resort El Arpa where you will pick up new off-piste riding skills.

Guest Testimonials
|
The trip definitely gave me more confidence in my riding. I was pushed (in a supportive, encouraging way) to do things that I would never have done on my own. Some things I did successfully, others not. But, having those memories will help me push harder to improve this coming winter. I also learned a lot about the more technical parts of the sport. Most of my friends are skiers, so we don't tend to discuss board mechanics, which means I've been riding ignorant for many years. Odd as it may sound, it was enlightening to discuss binding position and the purpose of a highback. I feel more comfortable calling myself a boarder now, as opposed to just someone who snowboards.
