Portillo's slopes are groomed nightly with our fleet of grooming machines, turning the Plateau, Juncalillo, Descenso, Bajada del Tren and other runs into perfect corduroy before morning. Beginners, intermediates and advanced skiers can appreciate the attention Portillo pays to its slope maintenance and grooming when they take their first turns every morning.

SNOWMAKING

Portillo normally receives bountiful snow, with an average of 20 feet per season. However, weather is never predictable so we have snowmaking equipment on the Plateau side of the mountain just in case. During those rare seasons when there is low snowfall, Portillo is still a blast. People sign up for ski lessons, advanced skiers practice their racing technique, and everyone heads to Tío Bob’s café to soak up the sun and scenery during the afternoon.
