In the United States, we may be reminiscing on ski season as summer sets into full swing, but down in South America, specifically, Chile, their skiing for the year is just getting started.
Valle Nevado’s opening day is Wednesday, June 28, just in time for skiers to enjoy the recent snowfall that hit the area this past weekend. The all-inclusive resort has had about three feet of snow in the past week, enough for a great base and making for a solid start to the season.
Portillo Ski Resort, another all-inclusive, premier Chilean resort, is already open for its low season, but its official opening day is this weekend Sunday, July 2. The area picked up a couple feet in the last storm and both Portillo and Valle Nevado are expecting another round of storms in the forecast early next week. Predictions are calling for over another foot of fresh snow.
