Awsome!

I am actually going in September 2007 as well (2 through the 9). I will stay in Santiago since staying in the resorts near by is very expensive, and also there is no night life. There are three places near (20 miles) La Parva, El Colorado and Valle Nevado. The latter is the most well know. There are daily shuttles that take you in the morning and bring you at night
SKITOTAL - transport service chile ski areas - valle nevado - el colorado - portillo - la parva

I have never been in Chile. However, I have friends that know the area and love it. I am putting a group together, but so far no luck which is not a surprise since I live in Miami. Let me know if anybody is interested, and I will send more info.

this one is on the VIII region about 6 ahours from Santiago(capital), This is the one i was talking about:

·····[ Termas de Chillán ]·················································· ·················································· ·········································


This ones are about 1 hour or 40 min fron Santiago the are very close together:

El Colorado - Home

Valle Nevado - Home

I recomend Valle Nevado from this 2.

There is a lot more of ski centers but this i think are the main ones, here u can find a list of all ski centers(Look under Centros de Ski):

Canal TV SNOWBOARDCHILE.CL

The snow looks good. About 48 degrees during the day and 18 at night. They have a 1.5 meters of snow (4.5 feet) of powder.

Valle Nevado - Informe de Nieve

I will be there next Sunday, and I am counting the days. I live in Miami, and it has been hot as hell here the last three months.

I will let you know when I come back.
