South American Ski Resorts

South American Ski Resorts Your Guide to the 2025 Ski Season

Last year, South American ski resorts had record-breaking snowstorms, raising the bar for what is feasible in the Andes. One thing is certain as we eagerly anticipate the South American ski season of 2025: the region's deep powder, breathtaking mountain scenery, and lively local culture make skiing here unmatched.

We at PowderQuest are commemorating 26 years of helping snowboarders and skiers navigate the Andes. In honor of the event, we have included new local knowledge, perspectives, and professional guidance to our Skier's Travel Guide to South America to assist you in organizing the best possible ski vacation.

Why Ski South America?

Ski resorts in South America provide a unique opportunity to experience winter throughout the summer months in the Northern Hemisphere. A ski vacation here is more than simply the snow; it's a cultural adventure, with terrain ranging from expansive pistes to world-class off-piste descents, and après-ski experiences full of Malbec wines and friendly locals.

Best Time to Ski in South America

Mid-July through early to mid-September is the ideal time of year for ski seasons, while they can sometimes begin as early as mid-May and go until early November. The greatest winter conditions and the most consistent snowfall usually occur around this time, offering excellent chances for powder days and extended sunny slopes.

Chile vs. Argentina: Where Should You Ski?

  • Chile: Known for its state-of-the-art ski facilities, resorts such as Valle Nevado, Portillo, and Nevados de Chillán have convenient access from Santiago, high-altitude terrain, and ski-in/ski-out hotels.

  • Argentina: Bariloche, Las Leñas, Cerro Castor, and other resorts combine expansive ski regions with vibrant cities, distinctive cultures, and the best wine and gastronomy in the world.

Choosing between the two usually boils down to personal preference: Argentina's attractiveness and lively ski towns or Chile's ease of access. For the complete Andean experience, many tourists decide to combine the two.

The Importance of Planning Your South America Ski Trip

When the rest of the globe is in summer mode, South American skiing offers a chance to explore the Andes, experience local culture, and chase snow. It's more than just a seasonal getaway. Now is the ideal moment to begin planning, since the 2025 season is quickly approaching. The secret to a memorable vacation is time, planning, and local knowledge, regardless of whether you decide to visit Chile, Argentina, or both.

We're here to make sure every aspect of your trip runs well as PowderQuest begins its 26th season in the Andes, allowing you to concentrate on new tracks, breathtaking mountain vistas, and an experience of a lifetime.
