Chile Snowboarding

 Chile Snowboarding 

Chile provides some of the best terrain, snow conditions, and cultural experiences in the world, making snowboarding in the Southern Hemisphere a dream come true. With its expansive backcountry, world-class resorts, and towering Andes peaks, Chile is a popular destination for riders who want to prolong their season over the winter months in the Northern Hemisphere.


Best Time to Snowboard in Chile


The snowboard season in Chile typically runs from mid-June to October, with some epic winters especially during a strong El Niño extending the season from mid-May into late October or even November. The 2023 season, for example, lasted well into November thanks to record-breaking snow.


For those with a splitboard and a taste for adventure, backcountry snowboarding in Chile can keep you riding southern volcanoes and remote alpine zones well into late October. Many riders opt for guided splitboard tours to safely access the best untouched lines.


  • July – August: Peak snow conditions, deep powder days, and cold temperatures.

  • September – October: Longer daylight hours, smoother corn snow, and prime volcano touring season.
