About 3 hours after landing in Santiago we found ourselves on the icy slopes of Portillo ski resort. Visit the website: skiportillo.com


In South America, Powder Princess became known as La Choriza, which in the native tongue means "the weiner girl". Here La Choriza shows how it feels to be on the other side of the equator.
