    This is still fresh news, mentioned earlier. With Andacor (El Colorado) against the ropes, MCP may go for it next, to complete the trio.

    Cautious optimism would be in order, but pricing and operational agility remain to be seen.

    In other news, a new front is appearing on the 8 day radar.

    This movie was filmed in the "northern patagonia", released last year, and has rad lines mainly around Bariloche, and nearby areas in Chile. Quite the blast...

    For general Chile ski info not related to current conditions, see https://bit.ly/Chileskiguide

    Although a bit outdated in some of the posts, the mountains haven´t changed much.

    Villarrica, relatively calm lately, burped black today




    Checking in on the time lapse yesterday, I spotted a pair walking up, then down, and skiing from a point just below the rime section. I think a combo of recent eruptions and a slathering of moisture and wind have made the skiing not so great. This screen shot has them down to the right.

    So it was V Osorno that got the earliest opening prize







    Osorno is run by Andacor, which also has the concession for Pillan (on V Villarrica), and El Colorado/Farellones. Their prospects were in trouble a few months ago, not sure they have found new financing or are negotiating with MCP.

    Alerts have been raised for the central zone Andes, where somewhere around a meter of snow is expected. Guess the front will get stuck up on the massive peaks of the continental divide



    All the way up to the Atacama region




    But a picture paints it better. This is from Ski Arpa at the top down to Las Leñas bottom right.

    Guess you can’t do what I did. Which was ski bum becomes El Colorado ski teacher and skis on a shoestring from June to Sept, winding up in Ushuaia, eventually.

    These days, but or rent a car/van and go where the snow blows. If the season is good in the 3 Valleys, that would be the place to lift ski, in what is the biggest ski area in the Southern Hemisphere. So a month there would be good.

    Personally I like La Parva as a base, for the variety and having 4 chairs to ski. Also good back bowl access for touring and hiking. Take a month in the 3 Valleys, and Include some side tours for Portillo, Cajon del Maipo, and maybe Arpa or Heliski.

    Do a month in the rest of the south of Chile, then do a month in Argentina. Probably best to leave the south of Chile for the last month, and do Argentina before the snow line rises. Right now, for example, would be a good time to go.

    If June continues to be snowy, it is a great month to ski. The ski areas are slow to fully open, but there are few people and the snow is usually colder and fluffier than August. School holidays start June 22 this year, to July 7. Avoid the ski areas then.

    Plausible?
