    Chilean Ski Resorts Upgrade for 2025 Season

    Valle Nevado and La Parva, two major ski resorts in the Chilean Andes, have announced substantial improvements for the 2025 ski season. With over $4 million invested, both resorts are focusing on enhancing their infrastructure and guest amenities. These upgrades aim to improve the overall skiing experience and cater to the changing needs of skiers and riders.

    The improvements include modernising lifts, expanding snowmaking capabilities, and adding new dining options. These changes reflect the resorts' commitment to staying competitive and meeting the expectations of today's ski resort visitors.

    At Valle Nevado, the focus is on upgrading key chairlifts such as the Andes Express, Mirador, and Gondola. These improvements will increase reliability and operational efficiency throughout the season. The resort is also expanding its learning area in the Hotel School zone, making it more accommodating for beginners and ski school participants.

    La Parva is also upgrading its lift system, with improvements to the Alpha, Águilas, and Fabres chairlifts. This will ensure more consistent operations across important areas of the mountain. Additionally, La Parva is investing in expanded snowmaking coverage, which will allow for top-to-bottom skiing on the Alpha chairlift, improving conditions early and late in the season.

    Both resorts are introducing new dining experiences. Valle Nevado is adding a second food truck at Cima Ancla, offering quick meals at high altitude. La Parva is opening a new bistro at Alpha Base, serving French-inspired cuisine throughout the day.

    Valle Nevado and La Parva are also improving their guest services. Valle Nevado is upgrading its hotel portfolio and adding a new rental facility on the hotel platform. La Parva is expanding its retail and rental offerings, including a new La Parva Store in the Parva Chica area and an expanded rental shop at the Alpha base.

    For the 2025 season, the resorts are introducing a joint access option, allowing visitors to ski at both Valle Nevado and La Parva with a special add-on to their day tickets. This option will be particularly beneficial for guests staying at either resort.

    Valle Nevado's 2025 season is scheduled to begin on June 20. Skiers and riders interested in these Chilean resorts can find more information on their respective websites: vallenevado.com/en and laparva.cl/en.

    Val Gardena to Alpe di Siusi Lift Link Back in Play After Court Ruling

    Val Gardena to Alpe di Siusi Lift Link Back in Play After Court Ruling

    The Val Gardena-Alpe di Siusi lift link isn’t dead after all. A South Tyrol court has overturned Santa Cristina’s rejection of the new Monte Pana-Saltria link on procedural grounds, after the council skipped required public information sessions. Opponents want the missing sessions held and a fresh vote, and nothing has been approved. For now it’s still a bus between the two, but a plan first floated in 2017 is back in the conversation.

    Utah Snow Storm Builds Early-Season Base Ahead of November Openings

Utah’s first proper storm of 2026-27 is rolling through the Wasatch, Snowbird’s snow stake is closing in on 10 inches, and Brian Head is five days from opening day. Early November snow rarely looks like much, but it is the layer every November opening date is built on. Here is where it stands.
