Thanks to some big may snowstorms skiing is now open in both hemispheres!ย The 2017 season is off to an early start in South America, as 4 resorts are already open. Typically, the ski season starts in mid to late June in Chile and Argentina. Chile has fared better than Argentina early on, but there are storms on track for both countries later this week and next week. Hopefully, these next few storms really get the season going.

Here are the current scheduled opening dates for South American Ski Resorts
