    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.

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.

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

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

    Rain down low, snow up high, and a snow report full of zeros that mostly means ‘not updated yet’. 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.

    Sierra Nevada Halloween Storm: Dodge Ridge Forecast to Lead With 19 Inches

    Sierra Nevada Halloween Storm: Dodge Ridge Forecast to Lead With 19 Inches

    Halloween weekend brings a wet, windy storm to the Sierra Nevada. Our five-day forecast has Dodge Ridge on top with 19 in, followed by Bear Valley at 15 in and Mammoth Mountain at 12 in, with most of it landing on Saturday. A winter weather advisory covers the Tahoe Basin and Mono County until 7 AM Sunday, gusts could reach 47 mph and the freezing level swings between 4,900 and 8,700 ft, so some bases will see rain. A dry spell follows from Monday.

    Lake Louise Opens Early on 1 November With Juniper Express and Easy Street

    The Rockies get their first lift-served turns of the season early. Lake Louise opens Sunday 1 November, five days ahead of schedule, after a cold October and round-the-clock work from the snowmaking and mountain crews. Terrain is limited to Juniper Express Chair and Easy Street, with two small terrain parks and the beginner area for lessons. Opening-day tickets are over 60% off, with prices rising as more lifts open. First chair is at 9:30 am under the resort’s new lift hours.

    Kitzbüheler Horn Summit Cable Car to Be Replaced After 70 Years

    Kitzbüheler Horn Summit Cable Car to Be Replaced After 70 Years

    A Tyrolean summit lift that has been carrying guests up the Kitzbüheler Horn since 1955 is on borrowed time. Its licence runs to 2045, but a new inspection rule has made refurbishment uneconomic, so Bergbahn AG Kitzbühel will spend around €15 million on a replacement on the same line. It should hold roughly 100 people and keep running in winds that would stop today’s lift. Building starts in autumn 2027, which makes this winter and next summer the last chances to ride the old one.

    Colorado’s early-season dominoes keep falling. Arapahoe Basin opened on Wednesday, Keystone follows on Friday, and now Wolf Creek is joining in on Saturday 31 October, just in time for Halloween. A storm on 23 and 24 October left 20 inches of natural snow in the San Juans, and three lifts will turn from 9:00 am, covering about 30% of the mountain. Expect rocks, unmarked obstacles and open water, but also Local Appreciation lift tickets at $73 for adults.

    Beaver Creek Installs 16 Automated Snow Guns on Birds of Prey Ahead of Record World Cup

    Beaver Creek is getting ready for the biggest Birds of Prey ever, and this time it is not leaving the snow to chance. Crews started making snow on 27 October with 16 newly installed automated guns on the lower third of the course, after last December’s warm spell forced a downhill off the schedule. Seven races across two weekends run from 3 to 13 December, the most the course has hosted since its 1997 debut, and the guns start themselves whenever the weather allows.
