Chile snow forecast
6 resorts · ranked by live 10-day powder score · leading right now: La Parva (94)
Chile is the Southern Hemisphere's powder heavyweight. The high Andes above Santiago (Portillo, Valle Nevado, La Parva, El Colorado) sit at 3,000 m+ where winter storms arrive dry and enormous, while volcano resorts like Nevados de Chillán and Corralco trade altitude for bigger totals and tree skiing. June to October, when a Pacific storm train sets up, the Andes out-score everywhere else on the planet.
