  • PORTILLO GOES CRAZY: More Than 10 Metres of Snow and Counting

    PORTILLO GOES CRAZY: More Than 10 Metres of Snow and Counting

    Want snow? Then take a look at what’s happening in Chile.

    There are good ski seasons.

    There are great ski seasons.

    And then there are seasons when a ski resort gets more than 10 metres of snow and there are still weeks left to keep adding to the total.

    That’s exactly what is happening at Portillo, Chile.

    The legendary Andes ski resort has already reached 1,021 centimetres of accumulated snowfall during the 2026 season.

    More than ten metres.

    And the best part?

    It could still snow more.

    ❄️ MORE THAN 10 METRES. YES, REALLY.

    Portillo has now joined the very exclusive club of ski resorts that have received more than 10 metres of snow in a single season.

    And this isn’t just any ski resort.

    Portillo is one of the great names in South American skiing.

    Located high in the Andes, close to the Chile-Argentina border, it is famous for its huge snowfall, high-altitude terrain and spectacular mountain scenery.

    But this season has been something else.

    1,021 centimetres.

    More than ten metres.

    And the number is still going up.

    🤯 ALMOST DOUBLE THE NORMAL AMOUNT

    To understand how extraordinary this season has been, look at the historical average.

    Portillo normally receives around 5.1 metres of snow per season.

    This year it has already passed 10.2 metres.

    That’s almost twice the normal seasonal snowfall.

    And the Southern Hemisphere winter isn’t over yet.

    Portillo has even extended its season into October thanks to the exceptional snow conditions.

    🌨️ AND IT’S STILL SNOWING

    Here’s where things get even more interesting.

    The latest snowfall hasn’t been insignificant.

    Portillo has continued receiving fresh snow during September, adding even more to an already enormous seasonal total.

    So those 1,021 centimetres may not be the final number.

    The season continues.

    The snow continues.

    And the counter continues to rise.

    10 metres today.

    Could it reach 11 metres before the season ends?

    Nobody knows.

    But there is still time.

    🏔️ A WINTER THAT DIDN’T LOOK LIKE THIS AT FIRST

    And here’s the strange part.

    The season didn’t begin in a way that suggested Portillo would end up with such an incredible snow total.

    During July, a succession of major snowstorms caused serious access problems in the region.

    The international route connecting Chile and Argentina was affected, with heavy snowfall making access extremely difficult at times.

    While the roads were struggling…

    the snow kept falling.

    And falling.

    And falling.

    💥 THEN THE SNOW JUST KEPT COMING

    The big change came during July.

    Several major snowfalls dumped huge amounts of snow across the Andes and transformed the season.

    Portillo went from a difficult start to one of the snowiest destinations in the Southern Hemisphere.

    Then August brought more snow.

    September brought more snow again.

    And suddenly…

    10.21 metres.

    And counting.

    🏂 PORTILLO IS ABOUT MUCH MORE THAN SNOW

    If you’ve never been to Portillo, there’s another reason why it deserves a place on your ski bucket list.

    Portillo is skiing history.

    It hosted the 1966 Alpine World Ski Championships, becoming the first and only ski resort in the Southern Hemisphere to host the event.

    It’s also completely different from the huge ski domains of Europe.

    You don’t come here to ski hundreds of kilometres of interconnected pistes.

    You come here to experience the Andes.

    The mountains.

    The altitude.

    The snow.

    The atmosphere.

    And that feeling of being somewhere completely different.

    🌎 THIS IS EXACTLY WHY WE LOVE DESTINATIONS LIKE PORTILLO

    At SkiExpeditions.org, we don’t want every ski trip to look the same.

    We don’t want:

    Flight → hotel → resort → home.

    We want something more.

    We want to fly to another continent.

    See completely different mountains.

    Try different food.

    Experience another culture.

    And then…

    go skiing.

    Chile is exactly that kind of destination.

    A place where skiing is only one part of the adventure.

    🔥 ARE YOU COMING TO CHILE?

    If you’ve been thinking about taking a different kind of ski trip, maybe this is your sign.

    Because while Europe is starting to think about when the snow will arrive…

    the Andes are buried in it.

    Portillo has already passed ten metres of accumulated snowfall.

    The season has been extended into October.

    And there is still plenty of winter left in the Southern Hemisphere.

    So the question isn’t whether there is snow.

    The question is:

    Are you willing to go and find it?

  • This Idea Hasn’t Worked for Years. Should I Keep Going?

    This Idea Hasn’t Worked for Years. Should I Keep Going?

    I want to talk about something a little different today.

    SkiExpeditions.org has been an idea in my head for years.

    I’ve been trying to organize ski trips for the last two years, but if I’m completely honest, I haven’t really taken the project seriously until now.

    So this is the first time I’m actually giving it a proper chance.

    And I have a question:

    Can this idea really work?

    Why SkiExpeditions.org?

    There are group trips for almost everything.

    Yoga.

    Hiking.

    Diving.

    Surfing.

    Cycling.

    Adventure travel.

    You can travel alone, join a group of strangers and meet people who share your interests.

    But skiing is different.

    There are plenty of ski travel agencies, of course. But most of them basically offer hotel + ski pass + transfers.

    And normally you go with your friends, your partner or your family.

    If you don’t have anyone to go with, you often simply don’t go.

    That’s what I think is missing.

    What if you could just join a ski trip?

    Imagine wanting to ski in Japan, Chile, Alaska, Kyrgyzstan or New Zealand.

    You don’t have anyone to go with.

    Instead of giving up, you simply join a small group of other skiers and snowboarders.

    You arrive at the airport not knowing anyone.

    And a week later you’ve skied together, travelled together, shared beers, dinners, adventures and maybe even made some new friends.

    That’s the idea behind SkiExpeditions.org.

    Not just selling accommodation and a ski pass.

    Creating trips for people who love skiing + travelling + discovering unusual destinations.

    And I don’t want to visit the usual places

    There are already thousands of companies selling trips to the Alps.

    France.

    Austria.

    Italy.

    Switzerland.

    Andorra.

    They’re great.

    But what about skiing in Kyrgyzstan?

    Japan?

    Chile?

    New Zealand?

    Alaska?

    Georgia?

    That’s the kind of trip I want to create.

    Places where the journey is almost as important as the skiing.

    But here’s the problem

    Maybe it’s a great idea.

    Maybe it isn’t.

    People have told me for years that they love the concept.

    But saying “that’s a great idea” is very different from actually booking a trip.

    And that’s what I need to find out.

    Maybe people don’t want to travel with strangers.

    Maybe the trips are too expensive.

    Maybe the destinations are too complicated.

    Maybe the market is simply too small.

    Or maybe…

    I just haven’t pushed the idea hard enough yet.

    That’s why I’m giving SkiExpeditions.org a real chance now.

    I want your opinion

    Would you join a ski trip with people you’ve never met?

    Would you travel to Japan, Alaska, Chile, Kyrgyzstan or New Zealand with a group?

    What would make you book?

    Would you prefer groups of 5, 10, 15 or 20 people?

    Would you rather travel somewhere exotic or stick to European resorts?

    And most importantly:

    What would you change about SkiExpeditions.org?

    I don’t need everyone to like the idea.

    I just need to find the people who say:

    “This is exactly the kind of ski trip I’ve been looking for.”

    Maybe SkiExpeditions.org will never become a huge company.

    And that’s fine.

    Maybe it just needs to become the place where people who love skiing and travelling find the trips they can’t find anywhere else.

    So tell me honestly:

    Do you think this can work?

  • Did You Know You Can Ski in Summer on a Remote Island South of Australia? ❄️ Tasmania Feels Like the End of the World… And That’s Exactly Why It’s Amazing

    When people think about Australia, they imagine beaches, surfing, heat, kangaroos, and giant barbecues.

    Not snow.

    Definitely not skiing.

    And even less a wild island in the middle of nowhere where you can snowboard while Europe melts under summer heatwaves.

    But it exists.

    It’s called Tasmania.

    And it might be one of the strangest, most remote, and most underrated places on Earth to ski during the European summer.

    Yes.

    While people in Europe are desperately looking for air conditioning… there’s snow falling in Tasmania, mountains covered in white, endless roads, and a feeling that you’ve somehow reached the edge of the planet.

    Tasmania Doesn’t Feel Like Australia

    And that’s the first thing that surprises people.

    Because most imagine deserts, giant cities, and endless beaches.

    Tasmania is completely different.

    Huge forests.

    Wild mountains.

    Fog.

    Lakes.

    Empty roads.

    Tiny towns.

    And weather that feels more like New Zealand or Patagonia than the Australia you see in movies.

    There are moments where it honestly feels like you’re driving through the last corner of Earth.

    And honestly… that’s part of the magic.

    Yes, There Are Ski Resorts in Tasmania

    Small ones.

    Simple ones.

    Way more raw and adventurous than giant European ski resorts.

    You don’t come here searching for luxury hotels or futuristic lifts.

    You come for the experience.

    For being able to say:

    “I went snowboarding in Tasmania.”

    And instantly sounding like you’ve done something almost nobody else has.

    During the Australian winter, between June and September, parts of Tasmania receive enough snowfall for skiing and snowboarding.

    And while the ski areas aren’t huge, they offer something becoming increasingly rare:

    Authenticity.

    Skiing Here Feels Like an Adventure

    Much more than a normal ski holiday.

    No giant tourist crowds.

    No endless lift queues.

    No fake resort atmosphere.

    Sometimes it feels more like an expedition than a classic ski trip.

    Driving through storms.

    Wild animals crossing roads.

    Completely empty mountains.

    Massive landscapes with almost nobody around.

    And you arriving at a ski area where there are probably fewer people than in a single European chairlift line.

    That feeling is incredible.

    Tasmania Is Perfect for Combining Snow and Road Trips

    Because honestly…

    You don’t fly across the planet just to ski a few runs.

    The magic of Tasmania is everything around it.

    The road trip.

    The landscapes.

    The national parks.

    The wildlife.

    The hidden beaches.

    The constant feeling of discovery.

    You can literally snowboard in the morning and stand on dramatic ocean cliffs in the afternoon.

    That completely breaks the brain of most Europeans used to grey winters and overcrowded resorts.

    Australia Has One of the Weirdest Winter Seasons on Earth

    Because while Europe is burning through summer…

    Australia enters winter.

    And many people still can’t process the fact that you can escape the European heat and end up snowboarding in Australia.

    It sounds fake until you actually do it.

    The Best Thing About Tasmania? It Still Feels Secret

    And today, that’s incredibly valuable.

    Because very few snow destinations still feel like real exploration.

    Places that aren’t completely designed for Instagram.

    Places where travel still feels wild.

    Tasmania still has that.

    That feeling of being far away from everything.

    Of quiet adventure.

    Of remote mountains.

    Of discovering somewhere before the rest of the world catches on.

    Is It Worth Traveling That Far to Ski?

    If you only care about massive ski resorts, probably not.

    But if you want something different…

    A strange adventure.

    A unique snow trip.

    A story you’ll talk about for years.

    Then yes.

    Absolutely.

    Because sometimes the best snow trips aren’t the biggest ones.

    They’re the most unexpected ones.

    And skiing in Tasmania fits perfectly into that category.

    And Yes… We Might End Up Going There as a Group 👀

    Because the more we discover about Tasmania, the more it feels like the perfect destination for a different kind of adventure.

    Remote.

    Wild.

    Completely outside the usual ski scene.

    So who knows…

    Maybe SkiExpeditions.org will end up organizing a group trip to Tasmania during the summer of 2027.

    And honestly…

    That sounds exactly like the kind of trip people never forget.

  • There Are Very Few Group Ski Travel Companies in the World (And Most of Them Are Expensive)

    At first glance, it feels like ski travel is everywhere. Resorts, passes, influencers, videos, ads. But once you start looking for organized ski trips beyond the usual Alpine week, something becomes very clear:

    👉 There are surprisingly few real ski travel companies in the world.
    👉 And most of them are very expensive.

    Especially if you want something more than a standard resort holiday.

    Ski travel is niche (much more than people think)

    Skiing itself is already a niche activity.
    Now narrow that down even further:

    • International ski trips
    • Small groups
    • Remote or unconventional destinations
    • Trips outside the classic winter calendar

    Suddenly, the number of companies capable of organizing this properly drops dramatically.

    That’s why most ski travelers end up doing the same trips every year: same country, same resort, same season.

    Why most ski travel companies are so expensive

    There’s a reason prices are high — and it’s not always greed.

    Organizing ski trips abroad usually means:

    • Complex logistics (mountains, weather, transfers)
    • Local contacts in remote regions
    • High insurance and liability costs
    • Small group sizes (no mass tourism)
    • Seasonal and weather-dependent operations

    Many companies focus only on:

    • Luxury chalets
    • Helicopter skiing
    • Fully private experiences

    Amazing products… but out of reach for most skiers.

    The missing middle ground in ski travel

    What’s rare is finding companies that offer:

    • International ski destinations
    • Real cultural travel
    • Fixed prices
    • Transparent itineraries
    • No luxury nonsense you didn’t ask for

    This is exactly the space where SkiExpeditions.org operates.

    Not as a luxury brand.
    Not as mass tourism.
    But as serious ski travel for curious skiers.

    SkiExpeditions.org trips

    Unlike many agencies that sell “dream trips” without dates or prices, SkiExpeditions.org works with real calendars and fixed departures.

    🔗 https://skiexpeditions.org/ski-expeditions-2026/

    Why this model works

    SkiExpeditions.org doesn’t try to be everything.
    It focuses on:

    • One group at a time
    • A few trips per year
    • Carefully chosen destinations
    • Skiing as the core, travel as the bonus

    This keeps prices realistic while still offering places most skiers would never visit on their own.

    Ski travel isn’t overpriced — it’s just rare

    The problem isn’t that ski travel is expensive.
    The problem is that there are very few companies doing it properly.

    When you find one that:

    • Publishes real dates
    • Shows real prices
    • Travels outside the obvious resorts
    • Builds trips around skiing, not luxury

    You realize that ski travel can actually make sense.

    The future of ski travel

    As skiers get bored of overcrowded resorts and short seasons, demand for:

    • Global ski trips
    • Alternative destinations
    • Year-round skiing

    will only increase.

    But it will never be mass tourism.
    And that’s exactly why it stays special.

  • Imagine Being Able to Ski All Year Round (Spoiler: You Don’t Have to Imagine It Anymore)

    For years, skiing all year round sounded like pure fantasy. Something you’d hear in après-ski conversations after a few beers. Ski season started in December, ended in spring… and that was it.

    Not anymore.

    Today, skiing twelve months a year is not only possible, it’s real, as long as you’re willing to look beyond the classic Alpine calendar. Skiing no longer depends on fixed seasons, but on knowing where winter is happening right now.

    That’s where the idea of global skiing comes in.

    The End of Ski Season No Longer Exists

    Skiing doesn’t end.
    It simply moves.

    When Europe warms up:

    • Winter starts in the Southern Hemisphere
    • High-altitude resorts still have snow
    • Some destinations are just getting started

    This allows you to connect trips and never go months without riding snow.

    Real SkiExpeditions.org Trips – 2026

    This isn’t theory. These are real trips with fixed dates and prices, designed specifically to ski throughout the entire year.

    What Changes When You Ski All Year Round

    Once skiing stops being “a season” and becomes continuous:

    • You don’t lose technique
    • You don’t restart every winter
    • You adapt to all snow conditions
    • You travel with a clear purpose

    Most importantly: you stop waiting.

    There Are No Bad Ski Months Anymore

    What used to be dead months are now:

    • June → high-altitude glacier skiing
    • July & August → Southern Hemisphere winter
    • September → late-season perfection
    • March → alternative powder destinations

    Skiing all year round is no longer crazy.
    It’s just a smarter way to live the mountains.

  • This summer you can do the same as always… or ski across 4 resorts in Santiago de Chile while everyone else is melting in the heat. Your call.

    This summer we’re heading to ski the 4 resorts of Chile’s capital, Santiago — four resorts that are among the best in the world during the southern hemisphere winter. Are you in? Or are you going to settle for another boring summer?

    Ski & Snowboard in the Chilean Andes: 7-Day Trip Across Santiago’s Ski Resorts

    August offers perfect winter conditions in the Andes, making it possible to ski and snowboard across multiple resorts while staying close to Santiago de Chile. This trip is designed to maximize time on snow, combining different ski areas with well-balanced cultural and nature days to avoid burnout. Over 5 ski days, we’ll ride at Valle Nevado, La Parva, Farellones and El Colorado.

    The entire program is built around flexibility, allowing both beginners and experienced riders to adapt each day based on their level, energy, and goals.

    This is the perfect trip if you want to combine it with Easter Island, the Atacama Desert, or the Salar de Uyuni.

    Remember: you only live once… and you deserve a trip like this. 🌎✈️⛷️

    🎿 Skiing in Summer: the move no one expects

    While Europe is melting in August, the southern hemisphere is in full winter. That’s where the magic happens: swap heat for snow, beaches for mountains, and the same old summer for something completely different.

    Skiing in the Andes isn’t just skiing. It’s leveling up.

    Everything is bigger here — the mountains, the scale, the sense of freedom. This isn’t your typical European ski trip. You’re in South America, surrounded by wild terrain, open skies, and a landscape that hits different from day one.

    And having four resorts so close to Santiago means something rare: you get variety without changing your base. Every day feels different.

    🗺️ The 4 Resorts: one trip, four experiences

    🎿 Valle Nevado – big mountain energy

    Valle Nevado is the benchmark in Chile. Big, modern, and with that high-mountain feel that hooks you instantly.

    Come here to:

    • Ride long, open runs
    • Hunt for powder
    • Ski without the crowds

    Perfect for full-on ski days.

    🎿 La Parva – local vibes & technical terrain

    La Parva has a more authentic, less touristy feel.

    Ideal for:

    • Exploring different lines
    • Riding with fewer people
    • Taking in insane views over Santiago

    It’s one of those places that gets better the more you explore it.

    🎿 El Colorado – balance for everyone

    El Colorado is the most well-rounded option.

    Perfect for:

    • Mixed-level groups
    • Chill ski days
    • Progression and confidence

    Everything flows easily here.

    🎿 Farellones – something different

    Farellones brings variety.

    More than just skiing, you’ll find:

    • A laid-back mountain village vibe
    • Different activities
    • A slower-paced day

    It’s the kind of day you don’t expect much from… and end up loving.

    🧠 What a typical day looks like

    Each day strikes a balance between structure and freedom.

    Wake up, breakfast at the apartment, coffee, and head to the mountains. The drive itself is part of the experience — endless curves, epic views, and that feeling that every day is an adventure.

    In just over an hour, you’re on the slopes.

    From there:

    • Ski at your own pace
    • Ride with others or go solo
    • Take breaks whenever you want

    No pressure. This is about enjoying the experience, not following a strict schedule.

    🏙️ Santiago: more than just a base

    Santiago de Chile adds another layer to the trip.

    It’s not all about skiing. You can also:

    • Go out for dinner
    • Explore lively neighborhoods

    That mountain + city contrast makes the whole experience richer.

    🛏️ Accommodation: practical, social, flexible

    Shared apartments are a key part of the experience.

    • Fully equipped kitchens

    Because it mixes everything that matters:

    • Skiing in summer
    • Traveling far
    • Meeting like-minded people
    • Living something different

    It’s not just about skiing. It’s about breaking routine.

  • We Are Experts in Organizing Group Ski & Snowboard Trips (To Truly Unique Places)

    A ski trip is not just about choosing a resort and booking a hotel. When it comes to group ski and snowboard travel, everything changes. Logistics, group dynamics, snow conditions, destinations, timing, and local culture all matter.

    That’s where SkiExpeditions.org makes the difference.

    Because we don’t organize standard ski holidays.
    We design original ski and snowboard experiences for people who want something different.

    We Don’t Do Generic Trips. We Do Trips With Purpose.

    Most group ski trips follow the same formula:

    • Famous resort
    • Peak-season dates
    • Standard hotels
    • Zero room to go off-script

    At SkiExpeditions.org, we do the opposite.

    We focus on:

    • Less-traveled destinations
    • Resorts with personality
    • Countries where skiing blends with real culture
    • Dates that break the traditional ski calendar

    Because skiing matters — but the journey as a whole matters even more.

    Specialists in Group Ski & Snowboard Travel

    Group travel to the mountains isn’t easy.
    And organizing it properly takes experience.

    A solid group ski or snowboard trip requires:

    • Balanced group levels
    • Smart resort selection
    • Well-planned transfers
    • Flexibility for different abilities
    • A good group atmosphere

    Years of leading groups around the world have taught us one thing:
    if the group works, the trip becomes unforgettable.

  • Traveling While Doing Sports Is the Fastest Way to Stop Being a Tourist and Start Living for Real. Don’t wait until you’re 70, it seems like we only have one life.

    There are two types of people when they travel.
    Those who come back with photos… and those who come back with stories.

    The difference is almost always the same: sports.

    Because traveling to “see things” is not the same as traveling to do things. It’s not the same to walk than to sweat. It’s not the same to consume a destination than to live it from the inside. And above all, it’s not the same to travel surrounded by bored strangers than to share a trip with people who have energy, curiosity, and a real desire to move.

    Traveling while doing sports is not a trend. It’s a completely different —and far more intense— way of understanding the world.

    The problem with traveling like a “boring tourist” (even if it sounds harsh)

    Most of us have done this kind of trip at least once:

    • Artificial schedules
    • Mandatory sights
    • Restaurants chosen by algorithms
    • Soulless hotels
    • Nice photos, empty memories
    • The strange feeling of having been there… but not having lived anything

    That kind of travel leaves no mark. It doesn’t transform you. It doesn’t create real connections. It’s fast-food tourism.

    Sports-based travel, on the other hand, forces you to be present. To get involved. To connect with the place and with the people around you.

    What changes when sports are the core of the trip

    When sports become the backbone of a journey, everything shifts:

    • Groups connect fast, without filters
    • Shared effort breaks the ice instantly
    • Conversations go deeper
    • Time is measured in experiences, not hours
    • Memories stay in your body, not just on your phone

    Skiing, cycling, trekking, surfing, diving or kayaking — it doesn’t matter. The pattern is always the same: sports automatically filter out boring people.

    SkiExpeditions.org: traveling with sports as the perfect excuse

    SkiExpeditions.org doesn’t organize standard trips. It creates active travel experiences where sport is the engine and travel is the consequence. The approach is clear: small groups, powerful destinations, lots of activity, zero posturing.

    Although many people associate it mainly with winter, there are also spring and summer 2026 trips where movement and outdoor life remain the focus.

    A clear example:

    • Italy – Milan & Cervino Ski Paradise
      June 20–27, 2026
      Price: €1,099

    A full week mixing snow, mountains, physical activity and group life. It’s not just about going somewhere — it’s about sharing it.

    Passive travelers don’t join these trips. Active, curious people do.

    Sports travel creates community, not just memories

    One of the biggest differences with this type of travel is the group itself.

    When you ski, hike, pedal or train with people for several days in a row, something inevitable happens: real bonds form. You don’t need icebreakers — shared effort does the job.

    That’s why sports trips often lead to:

    • long-term friendships
    • repeated trips together
    • shared projects
    • a strong desire to meet again

    That rarely happens with classic tourism.

    Kayaking in Croatia (various operators)

    • Typical duration: 5 days
    • Price: €790–€815

    How to choose the right sports trip

    Before booking, ask yourself:

    • How many real activity days are included?
    • Is the group small or massive?
    • Is the level clearly defined?
    • Does the price reflect experience or just marketing?

    A good sports trip isn’t cheap or expensive — it’s coherent.

    The real difference when you get back home

    After a sports-based trip:

    • you come back tired, but energized
    • you return with physical memories
    • you come back with people in your contacts
    • you start planning the next adventure

    And you realize something important:
    boring people travel to escape life.
    active people travel to build it.
