Ski season has begun in South America! Corralco ski resort in Chile opened for the season last week to solid early season coverage.

Right now, the southern ski resorts are looking good snow-wise and all planning to open within the month. Many of the northern ski resorts, especially the ones in Chile are completely devoid of snow right now. These still dry ski resorts do not have opening dates listed yet as they are waiting for their first sticking snowfalls to arrive.

If you’re planning your trip to South America, you might want to start leaning towards the south and thinking about calling up SASS Argentina who does ski/snowboard trips in Bariloche, Argentina (far south Argentina). SASS Argentina 2015 consists of 5 sessions running from August 1st through September 5th.

El Nino forecasts are calling for a big winter in Chile & Argentina’s ski country this Southern Winter and we’ve got our fingers crossed for a record breaker.
