Our team couldn't think of a more exciting idea than to have a snow adventure in the middle of our summer when its 100 degrees where we live! So we found a resort known for light fluffy snow in August, with a gondola that accepts the IKON pass and isn't far from an international airport. There will be a certified ski instructor hanging with us so you can get a few tips during the trip.

**SOUTH AMERICAN SKI SEASON**
Chile skiing/riding is from the middle of June through late Sept., best time is August. Valle Nevado is located in a high mountain desert at almost 10,000 feet (base elevation) and experiences big storms from the Pacific Ocean, delivering an abundance of powder each season!

**THE MOUNTAIN**
Valle Nevado has an excellent variety of terrain and a lot of it! The resort is above timberline and since it is the highest resort in the Andes, it receives very light powder. There is terrain for all levels of skiers, with long groomed runs for cruising, steep powder faces, and perfect open bowl skiing/boarding after big storms! The heli-ski and backcountry terrain here are some of the best anywhere in South America and offer big vertical relief. Both La Parva and El Colorado Resorts can be accessed from Valle Nevado by purchasing an upgraded ski extension pass, once you are in Valle Nevado. Combining all three of these resorts makes this the biggest resort in South America.

Here's your chance to take the helm and “sail away” in your own 14' long sloop!

Appropriate for those with little or no sailing experience, this group course teaches all the basics needed to get you out on the water, safely maneuvering your sailboat (a Capri dinghy) around the Lake. In addition, after successfully completing the course, students receive certification so they can rent boats on their own.

In a group setting you'll learn tacking and jibing (turning), sail trim, nomenclature, knots, and water safety are among the subjects covered in this fast-paced and exhilarating course taught by experienced, certified instructors. The course includes both theory and time on the water sailing.

And, this Introductory (Level I) Sailing course also includes a 1-hour private lesson (please schedule within the 2 weeks following completion of the class).

You'll learn the following skills:

Basic Knowledge of Weather Conditions, Shallow Areas & Hazards

Basic Vocabulary, Wind Awareness, Safety Position

Basic Steering, Tacking, Controlled Jibe

Sail Trim - Sheeting/Trimming In & Out, Going Straight

Right of Way, Launching & Docking, and more…

Completion of Introductory Sailing course and the accompanying 1-hour private lesson awards a rental card which allows you to rent the Catalina Capri 14.2 sailboats on Shoreline Lake. If you're looking to continue developing your sailing knowledge and skills, the next step is earning your internationally recognized U.S. Sailing Small Boat Sailor certification.

**What to Bring**
Students should bring comfortable clothes, a jacket or fleece, a towel and change of clothes, lots of sun protection, a lanyard to secure their glasses around their heads, a reusable water bottle, and athletic shoes. A bathing suit and shoes or sandals that can be worn in the water (such as water shoes/aqua socks or Keen sandals) are also recommended.

Important: Please arrive 10-15 minutes before your class to check in.
