August 17th, 32 NASTC clients and staff set out for the 13th annual summer ski training extravanganza in Portillo, Chile. Clients came from all over the U.S. from Hawaii to Maine. With 30 feet of snow and cold temperatures, the NASTC crew found new lines that hadn't been open in many years, including many lake run chutes, new lines on Primavera, and new lines off El Estadio.
