How to ski Chile on a budget

I decided that this was the sort of summer I could do without. So I handed in my notice, left work I was a solicitor and headed 7, miles south to Chile for a month of dazzlingly sunny skies and Andean skiing. My hastily-formulated plan was to head to Portillo ski resort, in the centre of this unfeasibly elongated country, then visit various resorts outside Santiago 90 miles south of Portillo and finally to journey south to the smouldering volcanoes of Patagonia. All on a shoestring. I took my boots but left my dejected skis at home to gather dust; I needed to travel light. Fitness centre? And the best tick of all? The jacuzzis that overlook Lake Inca, a stunning place at nightfall to marinate bone-tired ski legs and drink in the view of the surrounding mountains under a canopy of stars the view is so stunning it makes your eyeballs ache. Skiing-wise, Portillo is above the tree-line so there was little shelter on snowy days, but it had heaps of challenging off-piste chutes and steeps to blast down when it cleared. There was always somebody in the dorm who was itching to hit the powder; skiing alone is prohibited. On-piste, non-existent queuing meant plenty of enjoyable cruising on the impeccably- groomed runs; there are 19 runs and 14 lifts for no more than guests. If I hit the slopes early — Chileans worship leisurely breakfasts — they were unnervingly quiet. After a week of adrenaline-fuelled eyeball bruising, it was time to board the minibus I travelled with a company called Ski Total and head south. I knew that the smashing together of the Nazca and South American tectonic plates had created big, BIG, mountains and ski slopes up and down the Andes. Portillo had utterly spoilt me. However, as any seasoned skier knows, you just get on with it. So, I booked into a hostel, Lodge Andes, in the snow-bereft, cheaper resort of Farellones, 36 kilometres from Santiago. The nearby higher resorts of La Parva, El Colorado and Valle Nevado pictured above , with pistes between them, were, thank god still open. As it happened, no; at least not at the top half of the resorts up to 3,m. The skiing was surprisingly extensive, although I often had to hitchhike between the resorts due to the lack of public transport. Luckily, shredding down the slopes with the skyscrapers of Santiago glistening in the distance more than made up for this slight inconvenience. The shabby conditions also confirmed my decision not to bring my skis. I hopped off the coach like an overexcited puppy. The next morning the sun sparkled while a sulphurous halitosis puffed from the local volcano. Best of all, it was caked in powder. Volcanoes stick out; they are wind magnets. So, on day one, I sat around my hostel, the Tree House Hostel, in a state of boredom. On day two, my bloated apathetic state could be seen from space. They gave me some touring skis. Route finding was easy as I simply followed the empty pistes up there are 20 in all , most of which were pretty gentle given the topography of the volcano they steepen the further up you go.
