Chile buying snow

As the North American ski season comes to an end, another prepares to begin. Plenty of ski resorts can provide skiing throughout our summer in South America alone. Chile, for example, is packed full of resorts. There are other ski resorts already open in Chile at this point, too. If this snow keeps falling, though, these resorts of Chile could be in for an epic opening day. Get the latest snow and mountain lifestyle news and entertainment delivered to your inbox.

Chile buying snow

Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. When you register, you get our free weekly -ish snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in Username:- Password:. Or: Register to be a proper snow-head, all official-like! Prev topic :: Next topic. Poster: A snowHead. What a terrible season! Very high temperatures. Wind closure was also a problem. That's it. Global warming is here to stay. They said it was the hottest winter in history in Santiago. I don't doubt it. Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person. Gutting All about timing Things are picking up as I type In my experience, 14 Aug - 14 Sep is a more consistent window. Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see? You need to Login to know who's really who. Mike Pow , The storm front looks good, but the freezing levels are way higher than in previous years. Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do. I got 2 days of rain in Cerro Catedral Bariloche It rained all day at base level and on the middle level. Can you believe that? Only when we reached peak Nubes and Punta Nevado did it start snowing. I got soaked. Ive never snowboarded like that. Freaking rain in mid-winter? Its supposed to be cold AF. You'll need to Register first of course. Many thanks for sharing - v useful. Then you can post your own questions or snow reports After all it is free. I'm flying back from Santiago to Manchester with Delta, which means a hour wait at Atlanta on the way home fares were cheap Don't need one currently as straight through on way out You'll get to see more forums and be part of the best ski club on the net. Ski the Net with snowHeads. We even found the odd stash of powder. We stayed in El Colorado at the Aparthotel which is decent. Think Verbier rather than Andora. Skiing was actually really good with the best part of m of vertical. Pistes in excellent condition. Lifts a bit slow in places and a lot of pomas and tee bars, but I actually prefer that to French style mega lifts. Also, really nice free ride terrain. And some challenging stuff if you look hard. We even got to ski the chimney of Parva which certainly gets the adrenaline flowing 45 deg couloir. Weather was a bit dull with lots of cloudy days, but I suspect that was exceptional. Really easy access from Santiago. Straight forward drive of no more than an hour and a half. One thing to bear in mind is that there are basically no retail facilities in any of these resorts. Even buying food is a challenge just one pitiful mini market in Colorado and forget about getting ski accessories. All that said, had a fun time and purely in skiing terms the area compares well to a mid-size alpine resort. Plus, we got to see a condor!! And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports. Davidgdg , thanks so much for the excellent current info. Passes - yes, I hear Parva and VN will be on the same one next year which will help. Best to just buy at window or in advance cheaper anywhere? Can't really see much info re this. Thanks again, as my first time. So if you're just off somewhere snowy come back and post a snow report of your own and we'll all love you very much. We drove from the airport. Easy and spectacular drive. You know it makes sense. Valle Nevado's high elevation saved the day, but still Otherwise you'll just go on seeing the one name:. As has been the case all season, the Lake District region which straddles the Chile and Argentina border has seen the best and most consistent conditions. It makes no sense plus you're adding to GA for no reason other than to tick off a box and possibly your own ego. There's nothing there that would warrant any one to travel to to see or say the skiing was exceptional enough or diverse enough to go to. Plus the ridiculous turbulence I've heard about makes me wonder what's the point. Cultural factors might be interesting but we're all adding to the decline of glaciers and freak weather by doing so so I would be an advocate of staying in your own region or thereabouts. We might not have long to enjoy the winters so we should be more considerate imv. I guess having children could be 'inconsiderate', in your thinking? Which has the bigger climate effect - southern hemisphere travel or children? Mike Pow , id have to expect the skiing to be better than anywhere you'd find in the world otherwise why go? For culture hmm I get it I've travelled a fair bit over the years but we have spectacular skiing on our doorstep and I do warrant going to say Canada and the USA as the ease of access is much better. Going to Chile just to ski is insane Imv. Ok I wanted to play a little last night lol the last double bourbon did the trick! Thinking about it more this morning is it fair to say we should cap distances travelled just to ski? Is that you Sir Kier Starmer? I didn't say it's better. I said it's as good as. The terrain is similar and very different. So too the views. To me culture is everything outside of skiing. You know Chile things, Argentina things. People, food, wine, architecture, natural landscape, music, art etc. Don't make yourself look more of a fool than you already have. If you drive, take the train, fly to skiing; if you have equipment for skiing; if you use ski lifts; if you eat or drink on mountain then you're already part of what you perceive is the problem. Where do you live? Where do you ski? Gainz wrote: Thinking about it more this morning is it fair to say we should cap distances travelled just to ski? He went to Bariloche last weekend and a few days before and it was a bit better. Mike Pow wrote: Don't make yourself look more of a fool than you already have. How so? Was a thought I had which reflects many peoples views on travel and particularly holiday travel covering great distances. Gainz wrote: Mike Pow wrote: Don't make yourself look more of a fool than you already have. Look at the situation and type of travel and recreational holidays we're discussing And consider answering the questions I asked of you. I think there's a section here to discuss stuff like climate change. Or go surfing in Hawaii, or Costa. A lot of internet people have this concept of 'best'; that's flawed. Everywhere is different, and I'd rather ride in a variety of places to exploit that difference. This is why I don't live in any one ski resort. FWIW the mountains in Chile are very different, and the snow too is quite unique. Something to do with his girlfriend…. If you want to reduce the global warming effect of skiing then reduce the transport per ski day carbon cost ie go skiing for a season. Have you done this, Gainz? Outside Europe I've summer skied in Canada, and winter skied in Chile and New Zealand - want to have a pop at me for doing so? I seem to have ruffled a few feathers which wasn't my intention so I'll leave it there and let you kids enjoy the original thread. Joint01 Guest. As a general observation Smaller in terms of number of lifts, listed terrain, number of runs Similar to the medium size resorts in Italy Easy access to sidecountry and backcountry off-piste terrain Less slope side accommodation, certainly south and east of Santiago Resorts like Chilean 3 Valleys and Portillo have ski-in ski-out.
