    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.

    FIS Weighs Holding World Championships in Almost Every Winter, Starting 2032

    FIS Weighs Holding World Championships in Almost Every Winter, Starting 2032

    The International Ski and Snowboard Federation is looking at a major shake-up to its title events calendar. From 2032, World Championships could run not just in odd-numbered years but in every non-Olympic winter too, effectively putting a global title event on the calendar almost every season. The FIS Council has approved the concept following a feasibility study, though an accelerated rollout as early as 2028 is also under consideration.

    Mount Buller Becomes Latest Australian Resort to Call Time Early on 2026

    Mount Buller Becomes Latest Australian Resort to Call Time Early on 2026

    Mount Buller closes out its 2026 season this Sunday, joining Falls Creek, Hotham and Charlotte Pass in a cluster of closures landing almost simultaneously and roughly a month ahead of schedule. The culprit is stark: Spencers Creek's benchmark snow depth hit 31.2cm on 3 September, just 18% of the 73-year average and an all-time low for this point in the season. Six of Victoria and NSW's best-known resorts will have shut their lifts early within a span of about two and a half weeks.

    Tremblant to Add New Timber Summit Ski Sector for 2027/28 Season

    Tremblant to Add New Timber Summit Ski Sector for 2027/28 Season

    Tremblant has confirmed a major expansion of its Quebec ski area, with a new Timber Summit sector adding 62 acres of terrain, eight trails and a high-speed quad chairlift for winter 2027/28. It's part of a CAD 42.5 million investment that also includes a new beginner learning zone at Versant Soleil opening this coming season. The project has grown considerably since it was first announced back in 2020, when it carried a far smaller budget and an opening date that never eventuated.

    Mount Hotham to Close for the 2026 Season on Sunday, September 6

    Mount Hotham to Close for the 2026 Season on Sunday, September 6

    We knew when the Bird Bath Pond Skim showed up on Hotham's Instagram that the season was on its way out. It's been a rough one - I only managed two days on snow all year, at Falls Creek - and now Baw Baw, Selwyn and Hotham have all called it, possibly the worst Australian season I've seen in a decade. Hotham's last day of lift operations is Sunday, 6 September, with a Retro Day, Father's Day après and closing sales before the lifts stop turning for good.

    Thredbo to Replace Ageing Gunbarrel Quad With New Six-Seat Chairlift for 2028

    Thredbo to Replace Ageing Gunbarrel Quad With New Six-Seat Chairlift for 2028

    Thredbo Alpine Resort has confirmed plans to replace its 37-year-old Gunbarrel quad chairlift with a new six-seat Doppelmayr D-Line, targeting winter 2028. The AUD 35 million project will keep travel time roughly the same but lift capacity from 2,800 to 3,000 skiers per hour. It's part of a broader investment push that also includes doubled snowmaking capacity at Friday Flat for 2027, with the ageing Kosciuszko Express now flagged as the resort's next major lift replacement after Gunbarrel.

    Aerial Tram Collides With Crane at Alpe d'Huez: 23 Injured

    An aerial tram carrying around fifty passengers struck the boom of a construction crane on the route to Pic Blanc at Alpe d'Huez on Wednesday morning, injuring 23 people, three seriously. The cabin tipped on impact before the operator reversed it to right the car. Most of the injured were treated on site, with five taken to hospital in Grenoble, including a pregnant woman assessed as a precaution.

    Why Glaciers Are Collapsing - And What Happens When They Do

    Why Glaciers Are Collapsing - And What Happens When They Do

    A deadly flood on the Nepal-China border, a decade-old tragedy on Italy's Marmolada, and an unstable glacier right now above a village near Zermatt - three very different mountain ranges, the same underlying story. Warming ice is destabilising terrain that was considered settled for generations, and the results range from catastrophic floods to slow-motion monitoring situations that could go either way.

    Pitztal Glacier Set to Reopen for the 2026/27 Ski Season on 26 September

    Pitztal Glacier Set to Reopen for the 2026/27 Ski Season on 26 September

    Tyrol's highest ski area is gearing up to open a full month ahead of most of the Alps. The Pitztal Glacier is scheduled to start its 2026/27 season on Saturday 26 September, running through to 2 May 2027, with the lower-altitude Rifflsee area following in December. High-altitude terrain up to 3,440 metres gives the glacier a head start on snow, though as always, the actual opening extent will depend on how September's weather plays out. Early online ski pass bookings can save up to 30%.
