Hitchhike Snowboarding
I have been down to another ski resort, Termas de Chillan for a few days. I found when I arrived that I had to hitch hike from the hostel to the ski resort. So now those transfer buses in Austria don't seem so bad after all.
It turned out that, hitchi-hiking with a snowboard is easier than you think when everyone drives a pickup truck. You just jump in the back with other snowboarders, pets or lesser members of the drivers family.
One day though the driver wasn't so local, but a rich city slicker from Santiago. Driving on snow was not his forte. Theres nothing quite like a bit of wheel spinning around corners on snow and ice in the back of a pickup truck, up a twisty mountain road to make the start of your day that little bit more exciting than it should be.

Hi Alan it can't be as bad as your mum's driving!!
We are off to Singapore/Ko Saumi/Bangkok on Tuesday for just over 2 weeks.
Enjoy what you are doing and we will do the same.

Are you sure your not just snow/travel testing for Fat Face clothing or something?
Internet - good ain't it!

Hitch hiking through South America isn't really hitch hiking until you've had a near death experience in the back of a camionetta!!
