SKI AREA
Over the past 60 years, Portillo has earned a reputation as an excellent destination for skiers and snowboarders from all over the world. The snow quality in Portillo is excellent and is often likened to that of the Rocky Mountains. Skiers of all skill-levels find what they are looking for on our mountain and come back year after year.
Here is a general breakdown of our terrain:
Beginner -15%
Intermediate – 30%
Advanced – 30%
Expert – 25%
The ski area features 35 runs, all of which are groomed nightly and there is also extensive skiing to be had on unpacked runs and off piste. There is nothing quite like a powder day in Portillo. The bowls and shoots perfectly collect the light, dry snow and the above-tree-line landscape turns into a white playground. And with such a low weekly guest capacity, guests don’t have to worry about getting up at first light to get first tracks.
OFF PISTE TERRAIN
Using either our Roca Jack, Condor, Vizcachas or Cara Cara lifts, skiers and snowboarders can traverse – weather and avalanche risks permitting – to renowned off piste terrain such as the Primavera and Kilometro Lanzado runs. We strongly recommend first hiring a Portillo guide to show you the tricks of the terrain before heading off without one.
GROOMING & SNOWMAKING
GROOMING
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 24.7 feet per season. However, weather is never perfectly predictable so we have snowmaking equipment on the Plateau side of the mountain. 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.
Portillo is dedicated to your safety on the slopes. An important part of enjoying skiing/snowboarding is safety.
Skiing and Snowbaording can be enjoyed in many ways. At ski areas you may see people using alpine, snowboard, telemark, cross-country or other specialized equipment, such as that used by disabled or other skiers. Regardless of how you decide to enjoy the slopes, always show courtesy to others and be aware that there are elements of risk in skiing/riding that common sense and personal awareness can help reduce. Observe the code listed below and share with other skiers/riders the responsibility for a great on-mountain experience.
Skier & Snowboarder Responsibility Code
Always stay in control and be able to stop or avoid other people or objects.
People ahead of you have the right of way. It is your responsibility to avoid them.
You must not stop where you obstruct a trail or are not visible from above.
When starting downhill or merging into a trail look uphill and yield to others.
Always use a ski brake or retention devices to help prevent runaway equipment.
Observe all posted signs and warnings. Keep off closed trails and out of closed areas.
Prior to using any lift, you must have the ability to load, ride, and unload safely.
Be aware! Ski with Care!
This slopeside restaurant offers stunning views of Lake Inca and the Andes that surround it. It is located at the top of the Plateau Lift, before accessing Condor. For lunch Tío Bob’s offers barbecued meats and fish and a delicious variety of salads. Guests have been known to ‘lunch for hours’ after discovering the wine list and comfort of the restaurant. We sometimes host special dinners at Tío Bob’s on Friday nights. Tío Bob’s can also be rented to host a private evening party, allowing guests to ride the chairlift and view the stars over the Andean peaks. It makes for a truly unforgettable evening.
Hours: Tío Bob’s is open from 12:00-3:00 pm, weather permitting.
Note: On Thursdays we invite guests who either do not wish to/or cannot ski down the Plateau run, to ride the chairlift to Tío Bob’s without skis (1:00-3:00 pm, weather permitting).
Private Events: Please contact the Ski Portillo Marketing Department (info@skiportillo.com) for details.
The Ski Box, located at the base of Las Lomas, is a recent addition to Portillo. Ski Box is a snack-bar of sorts, offering sandwiches, empanadas, snacks, soft drinks, beer and wine. The Ski Box patio is perfect for hosting a wine-tasting or après ski event, with birthday events proving particularly popular. Portillo staff are happy to help you arrange your ideal event.
Hours: The Ski Box is open from 12:00- 5:00pm.
Private Events: Please contact the Ski Portillo Marketing Department (info@skiportillo.com) for details.
