What is the Army Doing on Your South American Ski Trip?

Depending on which mountain you visit, you might even see National Army regiments dispersed around the resort. But these soldiers aren't usually patrolling anything. Instead, they're actually there to get lessons on how to learn how to ski in the first place. Chile and Argentina's borders are quite mountainous and snowy, making knowing how to effectively ski a surprisingly vital skill for their militaries.

When you see these soldiers, you'll often see them alongside an instructor who's teaching them how to confidently get down the slopes.
