I'm pretty certain that I will be going to chile this year with evolve tours ( http://evolvechile.com/ ) For their 9 day camp, and i have some questions for those of you that have gone to chile. If i go, i would be going to portillo. What is the skiing like at portillo, Do they have a park? If the don't have a park is there and good places to make some good booters? Any extra help is appreciated!

there is no park in portillo, and only some decent places to build some bc jumps, there almost no partying overthere and you are like 3 hours away from santiago...you should only go there to ski powder

i've been considering a trip to south america as well, and one of my good friends says that the place to go is Las Lenas Argentina (best resort in south america according to him)..

and if you spend the money on a flight, you might as well try to go for at least 2 weeks

if you come to Chile you should come to farellones, is a little town in the mountain 45 minutes away from the capital city santiago, and you have 3 places to go skiing that are 5 minutes away, one of them is el colorado where i ski that has the best park in chile and maybe in south america a bunch of rails an jumps. also you have sick powder skiing and lots of places to go and you can still hit portillo  for one or two days. plus the partying here is sick you start at 5 pm and finish at 4 am almost everyday in july and in august you'll have the best snow almost nobody on the mountain during the week and party at the weekend.... argentina is good but people say is better cause of their economy is so bad that everything is cheap overthere but their conditions are not that better imo
