This was one of the most AMAZING experienes of a lifetime. The Laima volcano is located in the Andes Mountains. It is covered in snow all year and can only be described as a white desert. At the resort there were only about 50 other people. You can take as much time as you like skiing down, accross, backwards or any other way you like. There are no runs, only abyss.
We made our way to the very top where it feels like you are standing on the top of the world. To get there it is necessary to take "the lift" up the volcano, then ski down pretty far, stop yourself in the middle of the mountain and then hold on for dear life on what I can only describe as an ice pick on a rope and pray you don't fall off as you are pulled to the top. A million swear words and seven near death experiences later, we made it to the top. IT WAS WORTH IT!!!
