Additionally, the Chilean Resort of Valle Nevado has received over 80% of its average winter snowfall. So far, the ski resort has gotten over 200 inches while its average annual snowfall is 240 inches. The resort opened three weeks early on May 31 and benefited from a massive storm that dumped almost six feet of snow. Another storm blew in earlier this week, dropping another two feet on the slopes.
Across the South Pacific Ocean, it’s a very different story with Australian and New Zealand ski areas seeing only limited snowfall so far at the start of their seasons. There has been some snow and cold temperatures have allowed snow to be made with limited terrain openings, but it’s not anything near what has been going on in Patagonia.
If you are considering a South American ski trip this summer, the conditions are looking excellent not just right now, but for the entire season. The season could go to late October which would bring us right about to the start of the ski season in North America. Fortunately, many of the popular multi-resort passes in North America offer access to some world-class resorts in the Southern Hemisphere offering breathtaking landscapes, diverse terrain, and unparalleled experiences.
