Snow at Portillo Ski Resort, Chile

Snow has fallen in the last week at Portillo Ski Resort in Chile. Here are some photos to whet your appetite.

South American Ski Resorts - More Snow

A number of the South American ski resorts are still getting snow even though the 2009 season is long since finished. Please stop snowing and get in with the summer. The sooner the summer starts and subsequently finishes ... it'll be winter time again and the start of the 2010 ski season in South America!

Snow Falls In South America

There have been several snow storms in the last couple of weeks in the Andes. Most ski resorts have great snow conditions. All the main resorts in Chile & Argentina have sufficiently good snow conditions and good snow bases.
Termas de Chillán got half a metre of fresh powder this last weekend.
Valle Nevado with it's higher altitude slopes is the main resort for skiing or snowboarding near to Santiago making up the 3 Valleys of Chile with La Parva & El Colorado. Portillo has also benefited from the recent snow storms and Snoventures still have a few spaces available.
Argentina and particularly Catedral Bariloche has had significant snow falls and is now fully stocked for the next few weeks.

Powder in the Andes

August could turn out to be the best month of the ski season yet again! Recent heavy snowfalls have left a good accumulation of powder in several of the ski resorts in Chile & Argentina including Bariloche and Termas de Chillán
