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, Design Suites, Dazzler, and more.

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.

Patagonia Backcountry Skiing Safari:

An 11 Day Off Piste Focus ski adventure deep in Argentina's Patagonia, chasing the trail of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, skiing deep powder, eating like Gauchos, and exploring endless advanced and expert inbounds and off piste terrain in Patagonia. We start in Northern Patagonia skiing Bariloche with a huge amount of inbounds and backcountry lines, and not to mention some of the best nightlife and restaurants in South America. Then head South deep in true Patagonia. Four nights in the strange town of Esquel riding quite possibly the coldest powder in the Argentine Andes! Just when you thought it could not get any better, we finish our tour in the fun terrain of Cerro Bayo and beautiful ski town of Villa La Angostura. This is a true powder adventure in Patagonia.
