Skiing in Chile/Argentina
Any recommendations or advice? I've heard that Portillo and Valle Nevado are the best in Chile, while Las Leņas is the place to be in Argentina. I'm leaning towards Chile, given the proximity of the mountains to SCL.

In Argentina, dont forget to consider Bariloche and San Martin de los Andes. Best time to ski in Argentina is August and early September.

I skied Valle Nevado in July - great snow but a surprising amount of pommel lifts for a "first class" ski resort! Haven't skied in other S. Am locations.
(one of which I fell off and tumbled down a rather steep slope. But that's just my own clumsiness.)
