This August and September we’re headed back to Patagonia to explore some of the best skiing in Argentina & Chile! So take a break from the dog days of summer and join us in exploring some amazing Patagonia snow, wine, micro-brew and BBQ.

The Zone:

The Bariloche area, in the heart of Argentina’s lake district, is located near the spine of the Andes, not far from the Chile border. This area is also one of Argentina’s and Chile's ski meccas! The area is home to numerous ski resorts including Cerro Catedral, Cerro Bayo, Antillana and much, much more. If you're looking for the best snow and weather in Patagonia then this is the zone!

The Plan:

This year we are offering two different trips, each offering 6 days of skiing but exploring two different areas. Of course we take care of everything for both trips, it's basically the all-inclusive version of a ski trip. Just get to Bariloche and we've got your hotels, huts, transportation and lift tickets all covered. Breakfasts at the hotels are included as are dinners and lunches at the alpine huts. You just have to buy some wine/beer and a few meals in town. So, what are the two trips?

Trip #1: Patagonia Hut Trip

This trip explores the amazing terrain around the famous Fray Hut and the lesser known but simply amazing Jakob Hut. Over the six days of skiing you'll get to explore the steep chutes and granite spires that the area is known for not to mention the Euro style full-service huts that keep the weight in the pack to a minimum. Here's the rough day-to-day breakdown but of course we have more detail available below under the itinerary tab:

  • Day 0: Meet in Bariloche, Check into Hotel
  • Day 1: Ski to Fray hut from Catedral
  • Day 2: Ski Fray hut zone
  • Day 3: Traverse to Jakob hut
  • Day 4 & 5: Ski Jakob hut zone
  • Day 6: Traverse back civilization and a shower
  • Day 7: Catch a flight back to Buenos Aires

Trip 2: Patagonia Powder Highway

This trip follows the east slopes of the Andes north from Bariloche, Argentina to Cerro Bayo before heading west into Chile and the west slopes of the Andes before heading south again in a broad horseshoe. This allows us to hit some amazing mountains and volcanos while exploring what is arguably the best snow that Patagonia has to offer. Here's the rough day-to-day breakdown but again we have more detail available below under the itinerary tab:

  • Day 0: Meet in Bariloche, drive to Cerro Bayo & Check into Hotel
  • Day 1: Ski some slack country from Cerro Bayo
  • Day 2: Backcountry skiing off Cerro Bayo
  • Day 3: Drive to Chili & ski Antillanca Resort
  • Day 4: Explore Volcanos from Antillanca
  • Day 5: Drive to Osorno & ski slack country off the volcano
