...most exciting at Portillo, the big resort built by the government in 1947 and then almost written off as a total failure. The idea was to provide a setting like something out of an old Sonja Henie film. The international set. though, was not about to travel to the bottom of the world, board a chuffy little train and travel for five hours to the edge of nowhere...
Wine at the Bottom. As the word got around, Chileans themselves started up to Portillo for a crack at its runs, such as the famed Juncal-down a 40° drop, to an iced-over stream and a snow bridge. At the lower stretches, where Chilean ski troopers were training, skiers could count on a swig of fine sparkling wine at the army post...

Since both are neutral electrically, they leave no tracks in the liquid hydrogen, but after a short, invisible career, each decays into track-leaving particles by which it can be identified. The lambda ( 2) turns into a proton and a negative pi meson, both of which go off the picture leaving strong curved tracks. The anti-lambda (3) turns into an antiproton and a positive pi meson. The positive...
