hey we're Emily and Danny and we've been traveling by Van for the past four years
from Alaska down to here in Chile and hopefully to Argentina with our cat Graham and our pup
sombrita we're up here at Chillan we made it and we're out of Santiago for good we're
out I'm done with Santiago so this morning I'm going to make us a breakfast burrito we slept
in super late so we better get up there soon and yeah stoked to go skiing again today just
feels crazy to me coming back from the states where it was 100 degrees we were swimming every
day in rivers and here we are in the van about to ski don't even remember what clothes you wear
or anything I think I'm just gonna throw on the onesie make it easy zippers in the front
you want to go outside Grahamy?
thank you
it is so warm out every ski mountain that we've been to down here in Chile has been
crazy high altitude and it's been pretty cold every day because it's just cold up there but
last night it was so warm like we're definitely at Spring skiing now and there are trees around
which is so cool to see like it feels a little bit more like we're in the U.S but definitely
spring skiing still excited to ski today it's good to be back first day Danny's back woohoo
thank you okay there's some days up here look at that one that was the one we just saw erupting
that is so crazy we just saw a volcano erupting
wow this is super epic I'm really surprised we saw one volcano erupt right when we got
to the top and we could see another volcano over there which is supposed to be the most
active one in Chile Villarica near Pucón we got some friends over there climbing it right now
how beautiful is this oh my God this is going through trees again finally so
good I love this Resort so far this super long run and trees make it so worth it oh
my gosh it is good after the 100 degree weather up there oh yeah thank you now
oh
perdón second time we've been hassled by ski
patrol for not putting down the security we usually don't use this the security bar
first thing back to the van nobody saw that
good morning we're here at Chillan again and we are going to switch our
Sports Danny's gonna go snowboarding and I'm gonna go skiing and I really
wanted to ski fall season because of the tow ropes here and I'm excited to
try it out again I haven't gone skiing in like five years so we'll see how it goes
I'm really having a great time skiing I did hit some stuff that I thought was a little too hard
but I handled it with Grace I don't think I really fell it's so much harder to fall on skis than it
is with a snowboard with a snowboard I would just be rolling down the hill but with skis
I'm like oh whoops I'm falling over on my side no big deal and it's like I've seen you recover
really well but good morning I really enjoy it because once you start turning your body
just keeps turning left right left right and you just feel like a little wind-up toy or something
yeah it's so cool if this is your first time going out there and you're with someone that
knows what they're doing do just take a lesson everyone gets upset and yeah just take a lesson
honestly I've already taken a zillion lessons when I was a kid skiing as soon as I put them
on I was like oh yeah like I remember how to do this so but if it's your first day skiing
or snowboarding ever I'd say uh take a lesson and figure out the basics before you try and
ruin your day or not like the sport anymore yeah and that's basically for any sport just try just
try with a guide or whatever and then you'll have a great time and you'll have a lifelong a hobby
nice job this is crazy stuff
yeah that's the steepest part yet
okay we're back to the van let's see if Graham's still in the little spot
I made for him by the window grab me he was a little spot I made in here
thank you
we drove a little ways last night to wake up here in a new ski Town wow I was hoping for more snow
but I was kind of thinking that it wouldn't snow again I was just like but yay a new snow
day tomorrow that's gonna be so much fun figures the day we took the comforter off ended up being
the coldest day in a long time yeah last night was crazy honestly it got super windy all of a sudden
the van was moving around there's some trees over here on the side we were worried about maybe
falling on us but fortunately we parked and parked again because we thought ah there's a better view
a little over here so we weren't under the trees next thing you know this morning it's snowing
and we're pretty far below the ski mountain so it's definitely going to be a good day tomorrow
Grandma's out you think I should let him out yeah do it
foreign
here huh little buddy
it's pretty cold in here so we had to turn on the heater as soon as we woke
up but now it's 60 degrees and we've got our warm breakfast that's perfect
are you getting chewy come on into the heater girl baby
yeah we honestly got pretty lucky finding this spot because the first spot we stopped was a
gas station and I just wasn't feeling it like oh if I wake up in a gas station tomorrow I'm
gonna feel in a terrible mood so we drove another two and a half hours where we're
right below the ski mountain pretty much and Emily found this on I Overlander while
I was driving she drove the first half turned out really nice here nature getting dumped on
with the snow yeah we're gonna probably get some amenities in town we need some water
so the town that we're checking out this morning is malalcahuello and the
ski mountain that we're going tomorrow which we're super excited for because
it's been snowing all morning there's also some hot springs here I'm not sure if we're
gonna check those out the ski resort is in a national park so we're actually not able
to stay at the ski resort like we did last time at Chillan but it should be super beautiful and
Supernatural he's brushed keep fresh that most likely has a bathroom and questionable coffee
Home Alone
okay we found the cafe bathroom but let's go get the water and the laundry done
I love you
hey what'd you get hey no water but I got us some fries and some coffee you wanted
those Papas Bravas at that place huh and this is actually one uh tenth the price all right this
time we're sending Emily in we should go somebody no luck they do have those little bottles of water
so we could get those we won't go thirsty but all right this building says laundry yeah so
make sure to ask if we can do it ourselves so that would be really good you may not ask if
my wife can do it herself no I'll ask if you can do it for us are you gonna do the laundry
you don't wear clothes
we'll be back next week
man this little town is sparse yeah iOverlander has a laundromat so one time I did I got a dry
bag and she's like a waterproof bag dissolved some detergent in it and put a couple shirts
in it washed it up like that the only problem is doing your own laundry doing your own wash
takes so much water and I tried to do it when we didn't really have water so I don't know it
was kind of a bad idea it didn't really work out that well stuff ended up being still being
soapy after and then it kind of smelled and yeah it didn't work out but I think it would
if you had like an endless water supply so this is the laundromat according to IO it looks like
an Airbnb these days I see a little portable key boxes right there wow that was funny the
guy just [ __ ] his head out and he's like nah that ain't this ain't a lot of that
struck out on the water in the laundry but at least we got to go to the cafe and the laundry
I still have enough clothes and then the water well we're next to a river and we still have a
water filter that we can filter some water through that and if worst comes to worst tomorrow morning
while we're heading up to the ski mountain we can get one of those huge water bottles
foreign
because this is a beautiful place and we wish we could explore it a little bit more but that's how
we can keep moving all the way down to Australia so let's spend a little bit of time working on
this gotta work sometime so this is the rest day for us it'll be nice to get some stuff done
foreign
great little spot here down by the river it was super nice last night quiet and we really
loved being back in nature but we're heading up to the main event while we're here in this
little town for the ski mountain so let's head on up for a while let me feel alive
nothing to hold me back take my time just enjoy the pride I know my
best I've ever felt
get me somewhere I can't find myself
to the sky
I found my way I was in the dark against it all but made it through the thing cause I found my way
I found my way been bad times I know I'll be okay cause I found my way my way
huh
wow such a good day of skiing we really killed it today it was so cool to be skiing on the volcano
it was a little windy so the snow got blown over to certain patches and once we found out where
those patches were oh my gosh the snow is so good very light so you didn't sink too bad and so you
weren't bouncing around too much it was really nice snow so I tried to buy the tickets online
last night but their website was broken and it kind of sucked because the tickets online were
like only 18 000 Chilean pesos each so that was like an amazing deal the best deal we've had so
far for sure and he went over to the ticket office and it was advertised that it would be over double
the price that I found online but Danny talked to the lady about how it didn't work for us and she
said oh no problem I'll honor that price so yeah we got the cheaper tickets today even though we
couldn't buy them online and yeah I think that that was very nice of her that was a very sweet
thing for her to do pretty awesome we had a good day of skiing skiing on volcano scenes that is
kind of it's pretty steep and super fun since we've been in Chile for so long we only have
one week love my paperwork and also as advanced we're gonna head towards the Border we're gonna
