This episode is going to be a little different: I’m going to tell you a ghost story. A ghost story from 18,000 feet up. A ghost story I first heard while evacuating a patient off a high volcano in Mexico. This story still gives me the shivers when I think of it…😱
This episode of the SnowBrains Podcast is brought to you by Valle Nevado, Chile:
Valle Nevado, Chile’s premier ski resort located 90 minutes from Santiago with the largest skiable domain in South America and world-class heli-skiing deep in the Andes Mountains.
Valle Nevado celebrates 34 years of offering North Americans summer skiing from June to September. Spectacular Andean views, empty slopes, no lift lines, and delicious cuisine paired with Chile’s famous wine are all the hallmarks of a Valle Nevado vacation. Valle Nevado is a member of Ikon and Mountain Collective and offers all-inclusive packages for every price point. It’s no wonder so many international ski teams and pro skiers and snowboarders call Valle Nevado home every summer.
Live the Endless Winter! And don’t let your skis get lonely. Ski and ride the magical Andes this summer at Valle Nevado starting June 17.
