Whoa. Valle Nevado ski resort in Chile’s upper mountain is forecast to receive 19-Feet of Snow (232 inches) in the next 4 days according to snow-forecast.com.
19-feet of snow? In 4 days? Are you kidding me? Maybe this El Nino thing really is going to happen this year in South America. Central Chile has been in a drought for the past 7 years. Maybe this will be the year that hugely aids that drought situation and makes the skiing all time.
Maybe this will be the year that everyone has been waiting for. Maybe this will be the year that we will be talking about for decades to come. Maybe this is the year you should be coming down to South America…
CHILE SNOW FORECAST NEXT 4 DAYS:
(upper mountain snowfall forecasts via snow-forecast.com)
- El Colorado: 14.2 Feet (170″)
- Portillo: 13.5 Feet (162″)
- La Parva: 13.2 Feet (160″)
- Ski Arpa: 9.2 Feet (110″)
Even Las Lenas, Argentina is forecast to get 75″ of snow in the next 4 days.
So Far So Good In Many South America Locations:
- Bariloche, Argentina is having their best season since 2013
- Nevados de Chillan, Chile is having a big snow season
- Corallco, Chile has been open since June 20th and is buried in snow
- Chapelco, Argentina has been going off
- Las Lenas, Argentina has been pretty good so far
Portillo, Chile and 3 Valles area inculding Valle Nevado, Chile have been on the drier side so far this winter but this storm should take care of all of that nonsense. It should certainly be game on starting next week in central Chile!

ULLR is casting his charm and largesse upon that part of the skiing world. Be advised that snorkels are a required piece of equipment, perhaps an oxygen mask with a small tank in the backpack will help when the adrenaline slows down after being completely submerged for a few turns. Even tho’ I no longer ski, I vividly remember the experience of bottomless powder in Jupiter Bowl thanks to the kindness of Bob Bailey one January morning in 1977. Everyone enjoy.
We have been all over Chile for two weeks and only had big dump at Navados De Chlllian and they couldn’t handle the snow. Shut the place almost down for two days.
Jealous!
Nice…Be safe down there. Keep the reports coming.
