Great time snowboarding at a local spot 2 hours drive from Santiago. My buddy and I hit the slopes around 11 and finished at 1630. I definitely seems like too short of a time but it actually was...

Always a pleasure to drive less than 40 minutes to experience the mountain, winter sports and friendship. How lucky can you get?

Amazing ski resort just an hour away from the metropolitan area of Santiago. After the 40 curves you first arrive at El Colorado and if you keep going up you will arrive at La Parva. Amazing view!

Nice place!! Open and wide trails. Plenty of room. If you like powder your in for a treat. Only thing you should plan ahead for is no lodge. So no place to leave your shoes and stuff. There is a restaurant half way up. Food was good. There is another area half way up with food trucks. I didn't go there.

A real find, it's old lifts, but the mountain was a joy to ride. Off the back of Leon was perfect.

Colorado in the summer, many surprises. Worth the effort of climbing up there, on your own power. A view from the top of the cone. The Plomo is up there, in a distance.

Big infrastructure with poor service, a lot of places to eat, but few options, and bad signaling. The price is the same as to ski in France in the Alps and the food is very expensive. There is a lot of space for ski and lifts, but it is very badly flagged. It is difficult for starters. They don't have a menu, everything is online but there is no wifi for tourists, it is totally stupid and this happens in all country, everywhere they offer a qr-code menu but they don't have wifi.
