Although winter sports are not normally associated with cacti, in the mountainous region near Farrelones there are ski slopes. This is maybe 30 - 35km (20 miles) east north east of Santiago (left). Among the rocks near a ski slope Erdisia spiniflora (pictured right) can be found. This cactus will be buried under snow for maybe 3 or 4 months each year.
