So I’m going to valle nevado and I’ve been trying to see what the mountain looks like and I can’t find much information so it would be great to hear what it’s like and what to expect at the parks and off piste thanks.

. If the weather is good, it's pretty nice. If the light is flat and no new snow it's not that interesting. some of the stuff off the Poma on the back side has some cool terrain. Most people just stay on the piste so if you get some snow you can find some stuff that will keep you entertained for a few days.

At 9:21. I know it is in a snowboard movie, but I swear this has been hit in a few older ski movies. I can't remember which ones though.

Went there a little over a year ago. It's above the tree line so the offpiste is literally all bowls. We had shit icy conditions the entire time but if there was fresh snow there it would have been E X T RE M E L Y fun, so keep your fingers crossed. Also make sure to get your groceries in Santiago because there's jack shit for food on the base aside from some resort restaurants.

well you didn't let us know, so here goes... coverage is really good here in Valle Nevado. Hasn't snowed in a bit, but conditions were OK. Kinda firm in the morning, but got skiable in the afternoon. Park is fairly legit, 3 M/L booters, 2 S/M jumps and various rails and boxes, probably about 10 different hits to be had. quick laps on the Poma with short wait times= lots of laps, at least mid week. Whipped out my IKON pass and got a 5 day pass so day 160 of the season was pretty, pretty good.

It has everything! And it connects to two different resorts. You're going to have a blast.
