From late May in some southern ski spots and well into November in others, Chile’s ample terrain offer suits snowboarders, skiers and Randonnée aficionados alike. Besides a handful of ski resorts to pick from along part of the country and thousands of acres of backcountry to reach by helicopter, Chile’s abundance of snow may even be enjoyed by snowmobile or on a sled pulled by dogs through the mythical prehistoric Araucaria pine trees, which may live up to 1,000 years. What’s more, many of these ski hubs have natural hot springs around them to enjoy after a day of hard snow-shedding adventure. Sheer pleasure.
