Ski with Spanish class Evaluator
 

Skiing in Chile is during June, July, August and part of September. We search for the out of the way, smaller and more intimate ski areas. We plan this trip to be more than just skiing. Each day we plan for two hours of class of Spanish with a professional Spanish teacher and our trip leader, Pablo Gonzalez. We will visit other places and try to immerse you in the culture where you will be able to practice your Spanish during all your interactions. Great Skiing, Great learning and Great times.
