Two large back-to-back, late fall snowstorms slammed into the Andes of Chile and Argentina over the past 10 days, bringing flooding rains, saving Chile from 2007/2008 drought conditions, and blessed ski resorts like Portillo with close to 6 feet of snow.
The recent snow will allow Portillo and other resorts to open earlier than scheduled. Portillo will now open their 2008 ski season on June 14th. El Colorado, La Parva, and Valle Nevado, may even open next week as another snow storm is in the forecast starting Sunday night.
