chaotic 0 Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Morning! Having just spent half my w/e on the train/bus getting to the slopes I've decided that I really need to live within walking distance. Since I will be leaving Japan before next season I'm hoping to do this in South America. Does anyone know the place for shithot snow & apres ski? I'm looking to work at a resort or teach English, not expecting big money, just board/chill out & most importantly no 5hr hellish train journeys. If you've done this before or can point me in the right direction it would be awesome. Cheers! Link to post Share on other sites

gamera 0 Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Yeah if it's South American and if you leave just before next Japanese ski season i.e. October, it's begining of spring there in South America. You have to wait for another half an year and will feel almost missing a season!!!! Link to post Share on other sites

marnix 0 Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Chile: Pucon is a nice place to party, small ski resort on an active vulcano. The best resorts in Chile are Termas del chillan and Portillo both are far away from anything. Most people going to these places stay there for the week. (parties included) Valle Nevado and some smaller resorts are 'close' to Santiago. Santiago is a great city where a lot is going on any day of the week (but no real apresski). Haven't been to Argentina but I heard real good stories about Bariloche. I guess that would be my bet. Link to post Share on other sites
mogski 0 Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 You should head to NZ! Good skiing and defintely positions vacant to teach the locals English! Link to post Share on other sites
badmigraine 0 Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 Why would anyone want to learn English in NZ? It can't be very useful over there. Link to post Share on other sites

mattlucas 0 Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 I have always wanted to go to SA Maybe when I move home and become a teacher I will go down there on my summers. The mountains, skiing and women are supposed to be incredible. Just have to learn Spanish. Link to post Share on other sites
