I'm a New Englander who just learned about Turns All Year. I registered to try to reach out to folks who may want to ski Portillo in August and I found your thread. Not sure if your plans are set, but I'm hoping to take advantage of a promotion offering 50% off (7 days lodging, lift tickets, meals, amenities) if 4 or more women share a family apartment during "Friends Week" August 22-29, 2009. So far there are two of us. We have a couple interested as well, so if we get one more woman or one couple and have the ladies book together, the trip gets ridiculously affordable. See women’s only promotion on
www.skiportillo.com/promociones/ingles.asp#tema4
for details. Please email VTdiamondskier@gmail.com if interested.
We never did find the extra girls to get the cheap deal, but we booked it anyway. BTW, there's still time to add them and drive the price down if anyone is interested! If any of you finds yourself in Portillo Aug. 22-29, come find us (Cheryl and Patty). We're two two gringo girls who don't speak a lick of Spanish. (Gotta work on that...)
