Skiing in South America: Chase Winter to the Andes

Keep the Winter Dream Alive


For seasoned snowboarders or skiers, summer might seem like an interminable waiting game. The beach simply doesn't satisfy that powder craving, the lifts stop rotating, and the snow evaporates.


However, what if you could track winter south of the equator, where adventure is just getting started and majestic peaks are covered with fresh snow? PowderQuest can help with that.


We have been helping skiers and riders discover South America's secret treasures for more than 25 years. From July through October, the Andes Mountains provide top-notch skiing and snowboarding, giving you the opportunity to prolong your season and maintain the excitement.


Why Ski South America with PowderQuest?


Every skier and snowboarder has their own style and goals, which is why PowderQuest offers two types of trips. For those seeking untouched powder and adventure, our backcountry ski touring trips explore hidden bowls and steep terrain, with options like hut-to-hut or lift-assisted tours for advanced and expert riders. If you prefer lifts and a mix of on- and off-piste runs, our all-mountain resort trips give you variety and flexibility, showing secret stashes only locals know. Either way, our certified, bilingual guides ensure every day in the Andes is safe, fun, and unforgettable.


Conclusion: Your Endless Winter Starts Here


Skiing in South America is your ticket to extending the season and experiencing some of the best terrain on Earth. Whether you’re dropping into backcountry lines above Chilean volcanoes or chasing powder stashes in Argentina’s legendary resorts, the Andes deliver an adventure unlike anywhere else.


This year, don’t wait for winter to return, follow it south with PowderQuest and make the most unforgettable ski season yet.
