A snowstorm is on its way to Patagonia—a big one.
With historically low snowfall this year likely caused by an ongoing, decade-long drought, parts of Chile and Argentina are expecting anywhere from three to ten feet of new snow over the next five days, according to a snow forecast provided by OpenSnow.
Forecasted snow numbers for Chilean resorts over the next five days:
Alto del Padre – 137“
Nevados de Chillan – 82“
Corralco Mountain – 70“
Portillo – 51“
Valle Nevado – 50“
La Parva – 43“
El Colorado – 42“
Forecasted snow numbers for Argentinian resorts over the next five days:
Las Leñas – 78“
Cerro Bayo – 39“
Cerro Catedral Alta Patagonia – 38“
Caviahue – 36“
Chapelco – 27“
Hopefully, this is a solid chance for these Patagonian ski areas experiencing relatively low snow numbers this season to catch up on much-needed snowfall.
