One of the few things I enjoy about my morning commute to work in Santiago is seeing the snow blowing off of the top of 'Cerro Plomo,' an 18,000-foot Andes mountain peak visible (on a clear day) to the east of the city. I went to college in Utah, which has some pretty spectacular mountains, but nothing compared to the Andes.
Two weekends ago, after a fresh snow, we drove up the mountain (clarification: not to the top of el Plomo) to take the kids sledding. The scenery was amazing, and the sledding wasn't too bad either (no major injuries reported).
They are not kidding...the drive up can be a bit 'peligroso' and requires intestinal fortitude.
The hills were alive....with the sounds of kids whining.
