Puyehue - A TR in hashtag form, with translation
Prologue:
During our trip to SA this year I enjoyed a lot of social media stoke, particularly five million different angles of someone skiing the super C in Portillo. However, it can be difficult to correctly understand the forcibly abbreviated form of storytelling that happens on instagram. I'd like to use our trip to Puyehue to provide an annotated guide for the interpretation of hashtags for anyone facing a similar struggle. Note that you obviously don't want to post that many pictures at once, I'm just doing it to demonstrate appropriate use of short captions and hashtags. Normally you would post one or two a day for as long as possible, you can let your fans know with a status like so: 'Good to be back home but I'm excited to keep sharing images of our latest expedition with you all <3 '

Stoked to return to Puyehue with a stellar crew! Park entry sure has gotten expensive since the filmcrews stopped by. #adventure #skitheandes #humanpoweredadventure #neverstopexploring #adventurealways #noshortcuts #getoutstayout #outdoorculture @downskis @pieps
We are going to ski Puyehue volcano, which is that volcano with the big crater that was in All I Can and that one Salomon Freeski TV episode. I want you to know that not only have I been here before, I was here before those movies came out and everyone heard about this place. I am that cool. Someone gave me some free gear so now I will tag them in every picture I ever take.

No pain no gain! Feels good to work the muscles. #strong #training #trail #humanpoweredadventure #earnyourturns #neverstopexploring #adventurealways #noshortcuts #getoutstayout #outdoorculture @downskis @pieps
The hike up to the hut sucks and this trail sucks and I hate carrying my skis. I'm also kind of bitter because those guys in the movies had horses for this.

Moments like these... <3 #adventure #blessed #earnyourturns #friends #humanpoweredadventure #liveauthentic #livesimply #skitheandes
Thank god, we made it just in time, I can see the hut. (Last time we didn't find it in the dark and bivvied in the meadow, 100 meters next to the hut.) I think I'm going to collapse now.
Oh hey, that's a neat sunset.

Dinnertime with @foodforadventure! Foto @freak #cabinlife #hutlife #livesimply #liveauthentic #adventure #skitheandes #friends #mountainhouse #trainmeaneatclean
We are so rad that we got a shop to give us a few freeze-dried meals. That makes this a legit expedition. We told them we'd take some pictures of authentic outdoor living that they can put on their facebook. We forgot to take the toilet paper out of the shot.
The Veg and Rice Curry was pretty good.

You are the sum of your choices. It feels good to wake up far away from civilization, with only your best friends and the mighty presence of mother nature to keep you company and continuously inspire you. Life is for living. crap diem. #howdidigethere #outthere #keepitwild #blessed #liveauthentic #skitheandes #adventurealways #humanpoweredadventure #earnyourturns
Couldn't think of a good caption for this. I'm happy I don't work a 9 to 5 job with a shitty commute so I'll be vaguely smug about how centered and connected to nature I am because of my lifestyle choices.
Oh crap, fucking auto correct. How do you edit instagram captions?

Love the sound of skins gliding along, so peaceful! #skitheandes #adventurealways #humanpoweredadventure #earnyourturns #skitouring #backcountry
This is a really flat volcano.

It's not always easy but once you're on top you forget the struggle. Stay true to your dreams! #perseverance #lovenature #humanpowered #getoutstayout #skitheandes #adventurealways #humanpoweredadventure #earnyourturns
This actually was pretty easy, and flat. Are you inspired yet?

Scoping lines, about to drop into the crater! UNREAL! #amazing #crater #steepskiing #skitheandes #shred #shredpow #powder #humanpoweredadventure #earnyourturns
I'm sure everyone who comes here takes this picture. Damn pretty place. Shame the snow is completely bulletproof, we're definitely not skiing that stuff in the background.

While the boys had a @foodforadventure lunch, the chicas did an impromptu partner yoga sesh in the volcano. Glad to have @friend along for sillyness like this and girltalk! Pic: @freak #mountaingirls #yogagirls #outdoorwomen #radwomen
Did you realize I am a woman? I am a woman. My friend is also a woman. We did this because we knew it would look cool.

Challenges are the spice of life! Sometimes it's good to scare yourself a little, you might be surprised what you are capable of!

Wow, that last post got a ton of likes. I should use more hashtags that tell people I am a woman. The snow really sucked but we tried to ski anyway after taking a million pictures of everyone hanging out in the crater.
