Heli-Skiing In Chilean Andes With Breathtaking Lines.
Yes, it’s summer and the snow is gone. Not in Chile. As you may be aware, the resort at Portillo received nine feet of snow earlier in June. Nine feet!
So, we decided to follow up with an awesome video from GoPro, the versatile mini video camera company that shot this production at 13,000 in the Andes back in 2013. We follow four pro skiers on a number of exhilarating runs through snow fields in the high country. Lynsey Dunn, Chris Davenport, John Johnson, and Travis Rice really haul down some truly challenging and dangerous territory. Scary to us, but obviously, cup of tea to them.
Why/h0w do they do it? As Lynsey says in the 10-minute video, “You put your time in enough, and these places that a lot of people think are so dangerous become comfortable.”
Indeed. Fun to watch, though. Click on any of the pics or here to watch.
