Top Winter Activities Spots in Chile

If you want to save on rentals, try bringing your own gear. I rented stuff and ended up paying way too much. Bring what you can!

Keep an eye on the weather and snow reports! I didn't, and ended up missing out on a good day of skiing because I didn't know it would warm up quickly.

Make sure to book your ski pass online ahead of time! I saved a bunch by doing this instead of buying it at the resort. Just check their website for deals.

If you're planning to do both skiing and mountain biking, buy a combo pass in advance. It gives you way more value than single tickets.

I suggest you arrive by 8:30 AM if you want a good parking spot and shorter lines for rentals. Trust me, it gets crowded quick!

Check the weather beforehand! The conditions can change rapidly and I ended up getting caught in a snowstorm without the right gear. Not fun!

If you're planning lessons, try the afternoon sessions instead of mornings. They tend to be less crowded, and you get more one-on-one time with instructors, trust me on this!

I think you should rent equipment right at El Colorado instead of the city. It saved me time and hassle! Plus, it was pretty affordable. I've seen reviews saying the rentals are in great condition too.

I recommend downloading a weather app before you go... It really helps you plan your day... I made the mistake of heading out without checking, and got caught in some gnarly conditions

If you're planning to eat out, consider the restaurants down in town instead of at the resort. I found some hidden gems that were way tastier and cheaper - totally worth it!

I think it's worth checking the weather before you go. I got caught in a storm one day, and my ride back was a nightmare! Stay updated for a smoother trip

I suggest grabbing an early breakfast and hitting the slopes by 8:30 AM. You'll enjoy uncrowded runs and fresh powder, way better than the chaos later in the day!
