Portillo is one of the preferred ski resorts for summer training by the United States and many European national ski teams (Austrian, Italian teams). Our ski runs, snow, and service bring coaches and racers back to Portillo year after year. National ski teams typically stay with us for the entire month of August. This is a thrilling experience for our guests, who get to go back home with stories of skiing alongside some of the world’s best skiers.

• "Portillo is excellent. Slopes are well prepared. The gymnasium and fitness rooms allow us to do physical training and the food keeps all the athletes fueled up. The athletes like staying in touch with their friends back home through Portillo's cyber café, too."
   Frank Kelble, United States Women's Ski Head Coach
   

• "I just love it here. "It's just the most inspirational resort, on the roof of the world. There is only one hotel, so everyone gets to know each other on the slopes and off."
  Picabo Street, Olympic Gold Medallist, USA.
