    TR - Valle Nevado / El Cepo Valley Heli Ski

    Date: Mid August 2007
    Location: Valle Nevado Chile

    This report is a little delayed but I am motivated by all the new pics I have been seeing lately. We did one heli-run where we hiked and dropped in on the backside of VN which is El Cepo Valley. We also did 3 more drops the next day further out in the backcountry.

    The view from the parking lot:


    Sick line - I did not ski it though


    At the top


    Dropping....














    We skied this one:

    Great shots, and looks like great snow! Thanks for the pics.

    And the line by others in the 2nd shot...nice.

    Superb!

    Obviously it wasn't too windy on your fly days. Otherwise, were a Valle Nevado's lifts on windhold at hold during your stay?
