Red Bull just came up with the top 9 most stunning places to ski and ride on Earth. We’ve been to 4 of them and we’re POSITIVE that they left out one. Bariloche, Argentina is quite possibly the most stunning place to ski on Earth. The views from the ski resort are the best we’ve ever seen from a ski resort.
Not to say these other place aren’t stunning, but we know first hand that Bariloche is certainly more stunning than Portillo & Ushuaia & Lake Tahoe & Lake Louise…
Who’s not on this list that YOU think should be on it?

9 Most Stunning Places to Ski on Earth
Flk,
True about Bariloche, having skied every S.A. area in the last 15 years, I am still amazed that it has the reputation that it does. I think the list was more focused on the amazing views/locations. The only two on the list that I have not been to is the one in Russia & funny enough Mt. Lassen. But having skied most of the Tahoe area I assumed that it was on the list due to it’s view as well.
Sorry I meant Diamond Peak, which I had never heard of.
I guess it is not about the skiing. Heavenly over Diamond Peak as far as stunning views are concerned any day of the week…
Bariloche is way too vertically challenged. The base elevation is lower than the majority of the Pacific Northwest ski areas and sits at 40 degrees south which is the equivalent of Mt. Lassen in this hemisphere. Meanwhile the top of the mountain is lower than the base of Snowbird. The fact that Diamond Peak out of all the Tahoe resorts made the list shows that not enough thought went into making this list……
Pretty good list and I’ve skied almost all of them.
