well i only know about chile and argentina.. it all depends on the winter that we have it supposed to be a really rainy one si hopefully we'll get a lot of snow, in chile you have a lot of choices, you can come to santiago and ski in the 3 different resort if you know people you can go and do some sick powder runs and you can grab a bus to portillo wich also has sick powder runs and really good groomers. don't expect to have like big snow parks and stuff but in santiago you have valle nevado wich has a nice half pipe and in el colorado a nice snow park where you can have fun still. well if you have the time and money you can also go to the south of chile and go to another si areas like chillan and villarrica or also cross to argentina and go to las leñas and other places, they are very much a like good powder runs and every year better parks... hope you find this helpfull if you have more qustions just pm me or write it in this thread i'll try to help you out.
