Greetings all. I'm planning on doing a few days skiing in the Santiago area this winter. For the first trip I have 3 days from 22-24 June. Anyone down there then, or willing to share some local knowledge about where's best for some interesting stuff? I'll probably hire a car and bring some touring gear.

Casey: Thank you for your contributions here on TGR. Very helpful and great info!
Heading down to Chile Aug 12 - Aug 20, and trying to get some honest feedback on the terrain at the different ski resorts. Coming from a "I like skiing Kirkwood, Snowbird, Alta" kind of terrain, where do you suggest i go? Looking at the usual places, Portillo, Tres Valles, Nevados de Chillan, or any others you'd suggest.

Hey - looking for ski touring partners in Chile in the next month or so if anyone's around? Likely Santiago area but Chillán may now be on the cards too. Thanks, KBo.

Even with the required salt, this looks pretty good, especially south of Santiago. Hope to ski LP sunday and/or monday.

The cold front left La Parva with an even layer of fluff, and even if the wind messed it up a bit above 3,000m, there were stll nice soft pitches, the steeper the better. -12C overnight, very cold for these parts, and it remains cold at the end if the day. Sunshine and warmer temps are forecast for the rest of the week, but there will still be pow for those who venture afar.
