Here is an update on the Puyehue Chile Volcano ash cloud and it's affect on the ski resorts in Chile and Argentina. Since the June 4th, 2011 eruption the ash cloud has circled the globe. Ash fell and continues to fall, depending on wind direction, on Patagonia Argentina, and parts of southern Chile.
THE FOLLOWING CHILE SKI RESORTS HAVE NOT BEEN AFFECTED WHAT SO EVER BY ASH FALL AND SHOULD OPERATE NORMALLY:

La Parva scheduled to open after next snowfall
El Colorado OPEN
Termas de Chillan (Nevados de Chillan) OPEN

Ski Pucon on the Villarrica Volcano saw light ash fall yesterday due to a wind shift, but officials claim it will not affect operations and plan to open July 1st.
ARGENTINA MAJOR SKI RESORTS:
Las Lenas has not been affected by volcanic ash. Scheduled to open after next snowfall.
Cerro Bayo ski area has been severely affected as well as the town of Villa La Angostura.
Catedral (Alta Patagonia) in Bariloche too has been affected, but officials claim the ash has not harmed the ski lifts and plan on opening once they have enough snow. The town of Bariloche has been cleaning up from the ash, but the Patagonian winds and amount of ash in the surrounding area continue to make things difficult. The Bariloche airport remains closed.
