SnowHeads Summer Bash?
After seeing the pics in the thread authored by the $*&@)* who's just come back from SA and rubbing our noses in it . . . is an organised Bash less far out of the box than a magazine?
Are there 10-20 peeps who would be interested? (that sort of figure is where pricing discounts can start to make an impact)?

Masque, Well the snoworks trip to Chile costs about £5,000 but looks great fun, if something were organised for a fraction of that price, I think I could persuade my SO to go, as he was very interested in the snoworks Chile trip.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Might be something I would be intrested in looking at next year. Or are you thinking of skiing nearer to home with summer skiing in the alps doing other things in the afternoon?

Perfectly possible to organise yourselves. Much cheaper if you are prepared to stay in pensions or refugios a short distance frm the slopes rather than the deluxe ski-in/out hotels. Airfare is the major obstacle. Bus travel possible but with the right numbers car hire would start to make sense. Remember this year has been a particularly ggod year - others may be difficult.

If you were looking at Portillo then the all-in prices on their website don't look prohibitive, all in US $ so the exchange rate is very favourable at the moment. There's a range from basic bunkhouse to hotel as well. The transfer from Santiago's $100 return.

Flights with Iberia on ebookers for about £700 return.

"All-in"?
Are you sure after spending £1000 just to get there, you want to stay in ONE SINGLE resort? What if the snow is not good there but good elsewhere? How much terrain is there in Portillo?

abc, no idea. I'm not going (for the forseeable) anyway. I was just offering that site as a starting point for pricing info, ie. you could do a week in Portillo for comfortably under £2000.
