Resort
Focus South America Ski Tours:
Resort Focus Tours are a great alternative
to a traditional "ski week package" typically offered throughout South America. In fact we believe there is no better way to ski Chile and Argentina than a multi-resort tour. The Andes
of Chile and Argentina offer so much more than just skiing,
and with us you will ski multiple
ski resorts from Portillo, Valle Nevado, and
Las Lenas, to Alta Patagonia, Bariloche and
Termas de Chillan to name just a few. In addition, you will experience
South America's dynamic cultures while we
never lose focus of the comforts and services
you desire.
We offer you the perfect combo of the best
resort skiing in the Andes and optional off-piste
excursions. In addition we give you a choice
of moderate, superior, or deluxe lodging options,
unforgetable regional meals, knowledgeable
guides, comfortable private transportation,
safety, and excellent personalized service.
Our expert Chile and Argentina ski guides show you the best skiing in South America,
avoiding the crowds, and taking you to the
best snow according to wind direction, slope
aspect, recent snow fall and local ski knowledge.
We will show you our favorite ski lines, secret
spots and powder caches. If you want to score the goods like
the locals, get the most out of your South america skiing vacation, and avoid studying
a ski trail map that ends up landing you in an hour-long ski lift line on a bunny slope, these skiing vacations
are for you.
We offer you choices of Moderate
to Deluxe ski lodging options, and have personally
selected these hotels with special attention
paid to location, comfort, and service without
losing the local charm of the Andes and its
amazing culture.
Some of the hotels you have to choose from
are: Hotel Portillo, Hotel Valle Nevado, Gran
Hotel Termas de Chillan, Piscis, Las Lenas,

Backcountry Focus South America Skiing Tours:
If you are an advanced or expert skier or
snowboarder looking for the perfect combination
of South American resort skiing and endless backcountry skiing options,
our Backcountry Focus skiing safaris are
for you.
We base these Chile and Argentina ski vacations at various ski resorts
throughout the Andes allowing us to enjoy
the local culture, food, and comfortable lodging
while having several skiing options to get us into
the backcountry. These options include hiking
and ski touring. (Heliskiing is also an option
on our tours.)
On typical skiing days, our hiking and ski touring can range from
20 minutes, to two hours plus, at altitude.
Basing at the local ski resorts throughout Chile and Argentina allows us to be
more flexible on days we cannot get into the
backcountry due to weather or instability
in the snowpack.
Inbounds skiing in Chile or Argentina offers thousands
of acres of excellent advanced and expert
powder skiing. Our guest tio guide ratio of 8 to 2 allows us to easily accommodate groups with diverse skill levels.
Off - Piste Focus Options:
For those who are not interested in a full blown backcountry skiing experience many of our Backcountry Focus Tours have "Off -Piste Focus Options". Because of our 8 to 2 guest to guide ratio we often divide our skiers in to a backcountry and off-piste group.
Our off piste adventures allow you to ride with your favorite all mountain skis or snowboard set up without having to commit to Alpine Ski Touring equipment. Based at various ski resorts throughout Chile and Argentina, these trips get you to the best ungroomed trails and beyond the ski lifts, venturing out of bounds with our certified backcountry ski guides always thinking of your safety. Our goal is to get you not only to first tracks, but fresh tracks away from the crowds.

11 Day Off Piste Focus ski adventure deep

deep in true Patagonia. Four nights in the
strange town of Esquel riding quite possibly
