Master Skiing in the Andes Chile Without Faceplanting

Imagine this: You’re in Santiago, Chile—urban hustle by day, snow-capped mountains by afternoon. The Andes are calling, and they’re offering you and your group the chance to ski on some of the most majestic slopes in the world. But here’s the catch: You’re not a professional skier. In fact, you’ve watched movies about skiing but mostly to marvel at the grace of those who don’t spend half their time face down in the snow. Fear not! The Andes are here to make your snow dreams (or nightmares) come true—no pro skills required.

First Stop: The Ski Lift, Your Gateway to Glory

You’ve made it to the base of the Andes, the mountain range so stunning it could make you believe in magic. The ski lift awaits, and for some reason, you’re trying to pretend like you know what you’re doing. As you step into the lift, hold on tight—not to the cable, but to the fleeting illusion that you won’t fall flat on your face. The lift ascends, and you’re surrounded by a panoramic view so beautiful it could make a grown adult weep (probably from joy... or altitude sickness, but let’s focus on the positive).

As the mountain peaks rise higher, you can almost hear the majestic theme music playing in the background. You’re about to ski—like a pro. Or at least, like someone who doesn’t spend all winter binge-watching Netflix and eating chips on the couch.

Get Ready to Hit the Slopes (And Maybe Fall Gracefully)

But don’t worry, this is the best part. Yes, the weather is a bit 'cooler' while still in the mountain range, and you are about to ski down after climbing those peaks. The atmosphere feels crisp and fresh due to the cold air and fresh snow all over the place. The slopes are really wide open the sky is so clear, and so many people around you as if they are born skiing and passing through these slopes. And then you stand all alone getting ready to glide down.

There’s no need in worrying because as it is said everyone begins right from the bottom. And it doesn’t matter whether you crash into lots of level km beginner slopes and think you are an intermediate striving for the Andes or into mountains near their Andean collection. Perhaps it is the moment for Olympic skiers or quite the opposite trying on their new ‘falling could be fun’ techniques. How fun is that, rolling down hill and in style!

No, looking good whereas falling down is all the more the better thrill.

Après-Ski: Where You Can Brag About Your ‘Near-Pro’ Skills

At the end of the day, after you've conquered—or, well, tried to conquer—the slopes, it’s time for the best part: Après-ski. You get to kick back, relax, and sip on something warm (preferably something with chocolate in it) while telling everyone about your “near-perfect” ski run. Maybe you fell a few times, but who’s counting? You’re in the Andes, after all, where the views are as breathtaking as your ski stunts (or lack thereof).

So, while you might not be the next Lindsey Vonn, skiing in the Andes is an experience worth bragging about. You’ll have plenty of stories to tell—like the time you almost became one with the snow (but in a graceful, yet slightly embarrassing way). And the best part? You’ll never forget the moment you looked at the mountain, took a deep breath, and thought, "I’ve got this." Even if "this" meant a few dramatic tumbles along the way.
