Valle Nevado, Chile

Deep Powder...
Thu 26 July 2007 Whilthro
I go to Santiago for work quite a bit... The last two seasons (06 and 07), I have been able to sneak up to Valle Nevado and both times (late August 06 and Mid June 07) I have been blessed with the deep powder we all dream about daily.
The drag lifts were not pleasant for eight hour days but perhaps I am spoiled from living in Colorado?
Highly recommended spot if you have the time and cash...

Excellent resort, dont know why its not in your top ten. Went there just after the FIS world champs and so had a wicked pipe. The park was in excellent condition and manicured daily by the local rippers. The accomadation is rather expensive but food is amazing. All is all a wicked place
