Ski Chile

 The Andes - "Some of the best powder... in the world"

The Andes - it gets very high (12,000 feet), very suddenly. I last studied geography in 1983 and even I know high and dry is the best formula for powder skiing. That explains Scotland then.

The other thing to remember of course is that it's 'down below' - so skiing is from June till October - so if you get bored with Milton Keynes next August, you know what to do.

There are 14 resorts, the 3 biggies being Valle Nevado and Portillo near Santiago, and Termas de Chillán. Its probably only a 'Weird' place to ski from where I am sitting - the web sites are pretty impressive anyway.

Update: David Owen from www.powderquest.com specializes in South American ski tours, and including trips to visit several of the major resorts.

Best site that gathers all the info? I recommend Go Chile
