    Ski Chile 2021

    The last hurrah in the south for a while.





    If things pan out, I will be headed south in early August.

    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).

    Freezing level redlines this week, but a hint of relief has appeared on the central zone horizon.

    Region Metropolitana now in stage 3, as the total country new cases plummet to 1,000-2,000 a day.

    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."

    Source: Emol.com - https://www.emol.com/noticias/Nacion...movilidad.html
    They cite the variants threat as the reason to keep things tight for now. Some 32 Delta cases have been detected in spite of the restrictions.

    New cases getting below 1,000

    I can’t say for sure, but from the photos I’m getting I’d say the danger is Low…maybe non-existent.

    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.

    Chillan now back to just the bunny run, citing the heat, rocks etc.

    Debido a las altas temperaturas registradas en los últimos días nos hemos visto en la obligación de cerrar gran parte de las pistas que con mucho trabajo habíamos logrado habilitar para esta temporada, lamentablemente hoy no cumplen con los estándares de calidad y seguridad que nos caracterizan.

    A partir del martes 03 de agosto volvemos a la operación parcial del centro de Ski donde tendremos habilitada solo la pista Novicios en el sector Tío Willy, con aforo reducido y precio especial de ticket.
    BUT their report for today includes a one time ticket on don Otto for randonee skiers, which have to get down somehow, so I suspect there are ways.

    Temperatura:10 ° C

    Clima: Soleado

    Camino: Porte de cadenas, regulado por carabineros

    DISPONIBLE ticket Randonee en Telesilla Otto (Una subida), venta presencial en boleterías plaza Tío Willy.

    PRECAUCIÓN PISTAS CON PRESENCIA DE ROCAS.

    PRECAUCIÓN PISTAS CON HIELO.

    NOTA: Informamos las pistas zona baja se encuentran cerradas, para clientes que necesiten bajar estará disponible camión Mitsubishi en los horarios ya establecidos.-
