En el Lago Chacabuco, a 42 Kms de Santiago, se llevó a cabo el 03 de Diciembre, el campeonato “Copa Carlos Chicharro” en su version 2011. En realidad me llamaron para hacer un video ese dia, pero aproveché de tomar un par de fotos. Video online pronto.

Circuito Bichos is a Ski and Snowboard competition tour in Chile, a bit more focused on freestyle than racing, all for boys and girls Under 18. A couple of days they ago they did the annual awards ceremony, with a bunch of activities at Mallsport, and a bunch of prizes for everybody … good to see stoked kids!.

A friend from high school was invited to play at the DVD release of Elastik by Duo Code, and he invited me and a bunch of friends to appreciate this one of kind show. Check the video below to see and listen what I’m talking about.

And here’s a few more pics.

Long weekend here in Chile and everybody escaped from Santiago. 2+ million people going somewhere, in my case, to the coast. One late afternoon decided to check what’s new around the most touristic walk around of Valpo, Stairs ups and down, photo, photo, coffee and back to Viña. Impressed with how popular and developed this are is getting, definitely worth it to check out, like Paris but from Southamerica … kind of.

I’m not going explain too much details, but students of all levels here in Chile are demanding a better education system to the government. As a result of this we’ve seen many parades, strikes and other forms of protest, like this set of paintings/graffitis at the Universidad of Concepcion.

Greybird up the hill so we went for a trip to town and around. The market, juice bar, some waterfalls, a proper bar and some historical places to round up a culinary and cultural day.

After arriving to Santiago I did a quick trip to the south. There was plenty of snow there, always cool to spot possible new lines as well.

Coming not so fresh out of the plane from NZ, landed right into this small design exhibition in Santiago. Some cool stuff, I liked all the wood related work, this stuff should be more often and bigger. Here’s some snaps of the featured designs.

Quick transition from winter to summer, I can’t believe I was snowmobiling the day before we went into Lake Wanaka for a wakeskate session, first time for me. Really good fun, wish I can do it more often and on warmer waters. It was pre-tty cold.

Just before put my sled on storage for the season we had to go for one more mission, despite there was no new snow at all. Good fun anyway, new terrain and new challenges thanks to the dirt and hard pack snow. See you next year sled, I’ll miss you.
