Ski Chile 2021
The death knell for the central zone.
No snow at all in July? Two snowfalls this year do not a season make….
That said, above 3,000m the base is thin but solid and the piste skiing reasonable, so the ski areas will scrape by until July end. Beyond that, ???
Valle today

Ski Chile 2021
A different take on Nevados de Chillan, exploring on foot and skis in search of Huemules, a rare Chilean deer, and part of the countries coat of arms.

Cool line in the Shangri-la area at 17 minutes. Bad snow year (2019).

So I guess anyone planning on traveling to Chile this ski season has pretty much given up. The central zone, from Portillo to Chillan, has little snow, with no more on the horizon.
Portillo is closed and mum and Chillan has only opened the novicios lift. The 3 Valleys, with the highest elevations, are still running ok above 3,000m, but the heat is making the flat spots a dirty slushy mess. The loosening up of Covid restrictions have brought a constant flow of non-skiers to the ski areas, overflowing parking lots, producing monumental traffic jams, and a deluge of complaints about management practices and cops trying to control things.
So you aren’t missing much there.
Now that school holidays are ending, the southern areas, which do have snow but a high snow line, will be the place to go if anyone is still banking on travel opening up.
More on travel restrictions are being announced today.

So restrictions are less for vaccinated Chileans and residents travelling (as of 26/07), but no opening up yet for foreigners in general.
As for the measures that will govern for people who can enter the country, they remain, that is: the prohibition of non-resident foreigners in Chile remains in force, with exceptions, "and as always, all Chilean and resident foreigners can enter."

Ski Chile 2021
Non-existent. What slid at the end of June was the end of it. The base is now hard compacted snow and dirt. Now if something minor-moderate falls in top of that, there will be places with a minor risk. But where it did slide a month ago, which is unfortunately the steeps, it will take more than a moderate dump to cover up the debris.
Looking yucky today in La Parva. Frozen dirty snow in ice fog, for the desperate or dumb only.

Bitter cold today, finally, so LP can continue the biggest snowmaking effort on record I figure. That prior scene will be white tomorrow.

Doesn`t look good for the start of August for the entire length of the Center/South
And now they are talking about a niña after the niña, a double dipper of sorts.
