Chile — Ski season is coming to an end for most places in the Northern Hemisphere. If you’re like me, though, you never stop thinking about skiing, even when the warmer temperatures arrive. I prefer cold weather over mosquitoes, thank you very much. One option to get your skiing fix is to head down to the Southern Hemisphere and go skiing. And one of the best ways to do that is to head to Chile’s Valle Nevado.
Located just 44 miles outside of Santiago (Chile’s capital city), Valle Nevado features one of the best skiing experiences in the Southern Hemisphere. With its base elevation situated at 9,925 feet, the snow quality is considered being the best of any ski resort in the Southern Hemisphere. The ski resort features access to 2200 skiable acres along with Chile’s best lift network. Valle Nevado is part of the Tres Valles, which are the three interconnected ski resorts of El Colorado, La Parva, and Valle Nevado. There’s also the heli-skiing, which is considered not only the best on the continent, but also among the best on the planet.
