Clark Fyans has been Heli guiding in Valle Nevado, Chile for the past 4 summers. Slowly but surely he has ventured past the normal client runs into the vastly un-skied terrain of the Andes Mountains. Here is a little re-cap of what Clark was up to last summer in Chile and looking forward to this coming Augest with fellow guide Greg Harms.

Valle Nevado resort still has some epic options if you don’t have enough money for helicopters. You might have to hike alot, but there’s some sweet road laps and its only 45 minutes from Santiago Chile.

Thanks to Clark Fyans for all the photos.

a small leap of faith

Any heli operation in the world would be jealous of this helicopter. A revved up B-3 that has oxygen supplement for the pilot so they can land up to

15,000 feet. This thing is badass!

a little something to wet your summer powder appetite

looking down at the goods! 3000 feet of Andes perfection

The Andes are truly a huge and unique mountain range

slaying a chilean monster, definately not you usual client run

so you should probably go to Chile and spend all you hard earned money watching your friends ski some amazing

run!

and maybe you will get to ski this...still un-skied, next to many more like it

And if you’ve had your fill of Chilean Powder, go get chased around by some Great Whites in some cold ass chilean water

with perfect waves and cheap food.

one more, just in case you haven't drawn enough imaginary lines yet...
