    Ski Portillo Announces 2025 Season Dates and Updates

    Ski Portillo, located in the Chilean Andes, has set its 2025 season to run from June 21 to September 27. The resort, about two hours northeast of Santiago, is known for its high-altitude slopes and views of Laguna del Inca. Skiers and riders can look forward to updated accommodations and a range of events throughout the season.

    Ski Portillo is updating several of its accommodation options for the 2025 season. The C Chalets, half of the Octagon Lodge rooms, and all Inca Lodge rooms are undergoing renovations to improve interiors and modernise amenities. The resort offers various lodging choices, including the main Hotel Portillo, Octagon Lodge, Inca Lodge, and private chalets.

    The resort's popular 7-day Ski Weeks continue to be a main draw. These all-inclusive packages cover lodging, four meals daily, lift tickets, and access to resort facilities. Prices for the 2025 season start at $3,050 for a Valley View room in Hotel Portillo, $2,050 for a quad-occupancy room in the Octagon Lodge, and $1,550 per person in the hostel-style Inca Lodge.

    Ski Portillo has a full calendar of events for the 2025 season. Special weeks include Wine Week from July 26 to August 2, Wine Fest from August 23 to 30, and Friends Week from August 9 to 16. Families can benefit from Kids Ski Free Weeks, scheduled for June 21 to July 19 and August 30 to September 27, where children aged 4-11 can stay free with a paying adult.

    The resort has a history of hosting elite athletes and will continue this tradition in 2025. Several Olympic ski teams have confirmed training sessions at Portillo in preparation for the 2026 Winter Olympics. This follows the resort's legacy of hosting significant events like the 1966 World Championships and the 1978 speed skiing trials.

    Ski Portillo offers a unique opportunity for skiers and riders to enjoy southern hemisphere snow. Its high-altitude location in the Andes provides reliable conditions and stunning mountain scenery. With its range of accommodations, all-inclusive packages, and special events, Ski Portillo aims to cater to various preferences and skill levels for the 2025 season.

    Maverick Mountain's Only Chairlift Destroyed as Sand Creek Fire Tears Through Montana Ski Area

    Maverick Mountain's Only Chairlift Destroyed as Sand Creek Fire Tears Through Montana Ski Area

    Firefighters saved every base building at Maverick Mountain, Montana, but the resort's sole chairlift didn't survive the Sand Creek Fire. Owners Erik and Kristi Borge say the lift is "most likely" out for the 2026/27 season after flames tore through the mountain on August 8. The wildfire has since grown past 27,700 acres with zero percent containment. It's a gutting result for the tiny, one-lift operation near Dillon - though the lodge, groomers and equipment all made it through untouched.

    Spain Moves to Ban Smoking at Ski Resorts Under New Tobacco Law

    Spain Moves to Ban Smoking at Ski Resorts Under New Tobacco Law

    Spain's government has approved a draft tobacco law that would ban smoking across a wide range of outdoor spaces, including sports venues - a category Spanish winter sports media expect to cover ski resorts, potentially extending to slopes and lifts themselves. The rules would also apply to e-cigarettes and vaping devices, even nicotine-free ones. The bill still has to clear the Spanish parliament before any ban, signage, or fines can take effect.

    South Tyrol Approves New 16-Person Ciampinoi Gondola in Val Gardena

    South Tyrol Approves New 16-Person Ciampinoi Gondola in Val Gardena

    South Tyrol has approved a full rebuild of the Ciampinoi cable car in Selva di Val Gardena, replacing the current 12-person gondola with a 16-person cabin and a new mountain-station restaurant. Capacity is capped at 3,200 people an hour rather than the 3,600 the operator wanted, and 250,000 euros must go toward compensatory measures. No construction or opening date has been set, though the upgrade is partly aimed at clearing bottlenecks before the 2031 Alpine Ski World Championships.

    Resort Spotlight: Hoshino Tomamu - Corporate Japan's Mountain Playground Revisited

    Hoshino Tomamu is the ski resort equivalent of a conference hotel that happens to have excellent powder. Built for corporate retreats and package tourists, it offers genuine Hokkaido snow on surprisingly limited terrain - 29 runs spread across 585 vertical metres.

    La Thuile's New Cable Car Replaces Two Ageing Chairlifts

    La Thuile is spending 38.7 million US dollars on a new 10-person cable car linking Les Suches to Chaz Dura, replacing the La Combe and Chaz Dura chairlifts after nearly forty years of service. Built by Leitner, the new cable car runs 1,950 metres to a top station at 2,576 metres, carrying up to 3,000 people an hour with a six-minute ride. It also improves the connection to La Rosiere in France via the Petit-Saint-Bernard Pass, and is on track to open for the 2026/27 season.

    The Remarkables Adds Scarpa Bowl to Its Inbounds Terrain

    The Remarkables Adds Scarpa Bowl to Its Inbounds Terrain

    The Remarkables is adding new inbounds terrain for winter, bringing the Scarpa Bowl - known locally as the Toilet Bowl - into its lift-accessed network after years as backcountry-only ground. The roughly 500 metre run is reached by bootpacking from the top of the Sugar Bowl chairlift, with a shuttle picking skiers up from the road at the bottom. It's a smaller, faster addition than the resort's planned Doolans expansion, though the new terrain hasn't opened yet due to a lack of snow this season.

    Ski Portillo Cut Off After Storm Dumps More Than 4.5 Metres of Snow

    Ski Portillo Cut Off After Storm Dumps More Than 4.5 Metres of Snow

    Ski Portillo remains isolated after an extended storm buried the Chilean resort under more than 4.5 metres of snow, with both ground and air access suspended since Tuesday while crews monitor avalanche hazards and worsening weather. Resort officials say further snowfall is expected in the coming days and haven't set a timeline for reopening the mountain road. Once access resumes, the scale of the snowpack could set up a strong season at one of the Southern Hemisphere's most historic ski resorts.

    Resort Spotlight: Lotte Arai - Japan's Corporate Ski Anomaly With 22 Metres of Annual Snowfall

    Lotte Arai receives 22 metres of annual snowfall - exceptional even by Japanese standards - but its corporate ownership model and limited terrain create an unusual cost-benefit equation. Here's what the numbers actually mean on the ground.
