Hi guys this is my first post to snowHeads,
Heading out to South America this week, flying into Santiago, Chile. Along with a bit of surfing, I was hoping to get a bit of skiing in. Can was anyone recommend any ski resorts. From a few friends i have heard that Bariloche is the pick of the bunch in Argentina. Be good to hear from some first handers though.
Thanks

TimD, As far as i know bariloche hasnt opened yet due to lack of snow! The resorts around santiago are all open with good snow and if you ride park, the park in El Colorado is up and running.
Where are you going surfing at?

Thanks for that, bloody snow problem I thought that was just France! It had to re-close on the 30th June! Shame, cus the "Gateway to Patagonia" looks and sounds simple amazing by all accounts. I'll have to check these others out! Taking a couple of beginners, so park in El Colorado might be out the question, dont want them breaking legs in the first weeks, of a 2 months trip!
Hoping to do a bit of surfing in Punta de Lobos and Valpraiso. If I get a thick enough wetsuit, and I strap a pair on!

In that case, stay north.
Portillo, Valle Nevado, El Colorado.
Just a bit south of Santiago you have Termas de Chillan.

TimD,
The only place with snow in Argentina at the moment is Las Leñas. We've had to change our plans for next week from Baricloche/Chapelco to Las Leñas. The only problem is it costs 30% more.
