| It's a Winterous Summer again.....in Chile!!! Well family & friends.... it's about that time again. Time to pack the bags and head down to the southern hemisphere cause the snow is moving down there, and this time it's towards the country of Chile, bordering Argentina on the southern tip of South America. I'm taking off on June 16 and will be there till August 15 or so (we might be changing the departure date to accomodate for some days in Catalina Island, CA). I hear the locals stick to the groomed runs and rarely vear off to the uncharted paths, so powder stays untracked for days on end, unless of course there are Northerners around, the only ones who take the road less travelled by. I'm traveling with the infamous Graham of Weed, and would not mind some more familiar faces if anyone of you guys decide to pack up a backpack and your skis/snowboard and meet us down there. Like Aotearoa, the toilet flushes counter clock-wise and I hear they eat a lot of mayonaisse but that's about all the prep work I've done to prepare for this trip.... I'll leave the details for when we get there so it is a surprise. We'll be in Santiago the first week until we get our bearings, but most of the snow parks/resorts are within a driveable distance from there. Patagonia, Valpariso, Easter Island, Portillo, and a numerous other places are planned destinations while we are there, and hopefully some of you guys will be out there with us. There is an 8-snow day/7-night stay/meals included pack at Portillo at the end of the trip (1st week or so of August) that will be the splurging moments where there will be no holes barred snow playing, and fancyful partying, so if you just want to come for a week or so, join us then. It's been while since I've seen you all so, please consider coming along seriously... I mean what else are you going to do? Sit and smoke bongloads wishing you were there? Work 40 hours a week all summer? I know they speak a different language down there, but don't let that deter your coming..... The snow is waiting and we will be playing, so if you want to play.... Orbits.com has cheap tickets. Tahoe was a great adventure. Living in Reno with Amber (one bad-ass Stussy) Tommy (a wilder with his girl Katie) Chris (who loves to show off his girl giving him BJ's) B-Rent (one bad ass Borrachito) Marley (one groovy Beta-zoid) & Graham (little brother) was nostalgic at times, and epic at times, and just plain fun most of the time. The road goes on forever and the party never ends at this place. The little Waldorf was a pit of drunkenness, the Pub & Sub was cheap, Borracho was one blast of a cantina, and the casino's a drain on funds, but through it all, we found snow in Tahoe that was memorable on those hungover daze, and the last minute snow-storms were ridiculously fun. God has been good to me, and I pray that he is kind to you all as well. I miss & love you all and really wish you'd come down.... but if not, I'll see you when I see you and keep livin for that nectar of life.... Love, Sebang RayRay Sakuma |
