It’s always snowing somewhere, and fresh snow is the essence of skiing and snowboarding. While waiting for the season to start in North America, we focus on where the snow will fall south of the equator. The list of resorts in the southern hemisphere pales compared to the northern hemisphere. North America alone has over 750 ski areas, while the southern hemisphere has less than 150.

Whether you are chasing the deepest conditions or love seeing where the snow is piling up so you can live vicariously through others, this list of resorts will be the deepest over the next week and beyond. Some North American resorts reported the season’s first snowfall last week, but the deepest areas are still focused on Chile and South America.
