Mario was a fantastic ski tour operator. He and I had a number of conversations to figure out how to best accomodate our multiple needs: arrange for one of us to downhill ski near Santiago while the other was working in Santiago, then set us up for a long week end of back country skiing for two advanced skiers in search of some serious back country challenge and one homebody only interested in a comfortable hotel.

It worked out perfectly! My son had 3 excellent days of skiing in La parva staying overnight with Mario and getting the inside scoop on the resort. We then headed out to Malalcahuello where we simply had the back country experience of a lifetime, skiing in untouched powder among the araucarias (I definitely recommend it!!) Mario had arranged for top quality ski rentals and simply the best back country guide anyone could hope for (Forrest). The lodge that Mario had found was lovely—owned by a charming argentine family that made my non-skiing husband welcome and served delicious food.

I am used to arranging my own ski adventures in the US but had no idea where to start in Chile. Definitely recommend Andes Touring! We were impressed!
