South America Skiing

Best Time to Visit and Top Tips

South America has some of the world's most amazing powder skiing experiences when it comes to skiing in the Southern Hemisphere. It is the ideal location for adventurers seeking to escape the summer heat of the Northern Hemisphere because of its magnificent Andes mountains and top-notch resorts.

Ideal Time for South America Ski Trips

June to mid-October is typically the length of a strong South American ski season, with some years seeing it continue into November. 

For the finest mix of consistent snow, ideal weather, and less crowds at the ski slopes, we strongly advise traveling between late July and mid-September. October is frequently a great month for backcountry skiers since the snowpack is still thick and solid until the higher spring temperatures arrive.

Our Top 5 Picks for Andes Skiing Without the Crowds

Don't miss our carefully chosen list of the best 5 Andean ski locations if you want to explore pure snow and stay away from busy resorts. These locations have great terrain, outstanding snow, and a genuine local feel.

Check out this little film from Chile's La Parva Resort for a preview of what South American summer skiing looks like. It's a great way to imagine the distinctive experience of skiing in the summer months of the Southern Hemisphere.

Plan Your Andes Powder Adventure

The South American Andes are a powder lover's paradise during the off-season. The months of late July through mid-September are perfect for your next vacation, whether you want to explore unexplored backcountry terrain or ski in lift-served resorts.

Don't put off pursuing powder until the next winter. Discover why South America is among the top winter sports locations worldwide by booking your incredible ski vacation with PowderQuest right now.
