24/7 TV Chile Action Sports Channel


I recently met some of the guys from 247TV chile and worked together with them during an episode (#143) they shot on Manuel Diaz. They have around 144 episodes so far, and its some good stuff to watch. Its all in Spanish so be prepared. They have features on snowboarding, motocross, skateboarding, surfing, mountain biking, and more. It cool cause they profile a lot of Chileans as well as international pros that come around. The show is hosted by Felipe Costa, and a lot of it is filmed by Marcello Flores.

Backcountry Snowboarding and Skiing in Valle Nevado & El Colorado, Chile


This backcountry run is called Los Moais. Amazingly it is accessible from a chairlift from either El Colorado or Valle Nevado Ski Resorts. You do have to hitchhike a ride back up the mountain, which has been known to take anywhere from 30 seconds to hours.
Esta bajada fuera de pista se llama Los Moais. Lo increíble es que puedes llegar a ella por medio del andarivel de El Colorado y Valle Nevado. Eso si tienes que hacer dedo de vuelta al centro de ski, lo que puede tardar entre 30 segundos a horas.

Backcountry Snowboarding and Skiing in Valle Nevado & El Colorado, Chile is super fun. The locals call one of the best zones to ride Santa Terecita, Santa Tere, or Santa Teresa in honor of the Chilean Saint Teresa. The powder is so dry it blows into the air as you ride through it.
