Ski season in Patagonia should be at its peak. Kids are out of school for a while, the snow’s coming down and ski towns built on tourism are setup. Unfortunately a volcano in Chile’s been puking ash on the resorts and neighboring towns keeping the airports and resorts on lock down. People are wandering around town wearing ski goggles, but it’s just to keep the ash out of their eyes. I’m surprised no enterprising skiers are uploading GoPro footage of them floating down the mountain covered in ash, but I suppose it’s tough to skin up an ash-covered mountainside. Plus it’s probably not great to breathe or wash out of your ski jacket.
