CAHill > Santiago Airport, 2 hrs from Portillo -unless the road is closed, which happens fairly regularly- like the day I arrived, when the road opened at 4 pm after being closed all day. Since I arrived SCL at 8 am, we spent a long time parked 20 miles from the resort, waiting for the road to be deemed passable, as it was snowing.
CAHill > the cool Hotel - worth the lengthy drive up and the overnight flight
CAHill > And the beautiful weather the next day! All the photos show this fabulous blue sky, and they were NOT all taken the same day! The weather was spectacular the entire week.
CAHill > comfy hotel room, with loads of pillows
CAHill > 40 ft of snow this season; well above the normal average of 20!
CAHill > views like none I have ever seen. Surrounding Portillo are mountains 14,000 ft and up.  a few miles away on the border with Argentina is Mt Aconcagua - at over 22,000 ft the highest peak in the Americas
