We have never seen as much snow here at Villarica in all the years we have been coming down. Another huge Andean storm has pounded the mountains here in Chile. Our group is here in Pucon and skied Villarica yesterday. They have received over 60cm of snow in the last 2 days. We were able to ski most of the way down the road instead of riding in the van!!!!
The banks along the side of the road are about 10 feet tall.
Chile is going off!!! I love it: snow by the meter!
Termas de Chillan received at least 50cm of snow in this last storm and the areas around Santaigo: Valle Nevado, El Colorado and La Parva got hammered as well. Snow was falling far down the road.
The temperatures are also colder than average, meaning the snow that has fallen is incredibly dry and light.
We are set up for an excellent season, the coverage is amazing, as good as I’ve ever seen it.
