For the sake of not dooming spots or chaffing anyone about commercial trips, I’ll just share some photos of a recent volcano trip in Chile. It was a pretty nice way to ease into the ‘23-24 ski season. We skied on four different volcanoes (There were a couple of repeat days, the volcanoes are huge and offer multiple descents.)and enjoyed three summits over the course of nine days. Some of them offered runs as long as 1950m. Melt freeze conditions and a bit of hot pow made for fast travel and great spring skiing—we covered over 100km and 10,900m during the trip.
If you’re looking for storm skiing below tree line, I’d suggest going earlier in the season, however going later in September or early October allows for the roads to melt out and provides more stable weather and avalanche conditions.
All in all it was a great trip and I am stoked to go back next year!
