This year, South America is having its snowiest start to the season in 30 Years. It’s looking like the ski season in South America is going to be epic. Early-season snowfall has been plentiful, as multiple storms have blanketed resorts in Chile and Argentina.

To seize the opportunity provided by the season, Chile will host several races during July, August, September, and October. The first race to open the season will be at El Colorado, with 2 FIS GS on the 25th and 26th of July. These races are part of Ford Chile Winter Series Visa, a snow sports circuit that includes several disciplines such as Para Alpine, Cross Country, Ski, and Snowboard Cross.

Chile Winter Series and the South American Cup circuit are thrilled to welcome athletes from all around the globe. They are hosting an exciting month of events that includes a high level of competition and a South American style of camaraderie and racing.

Jorge Mandru, chief of Chile Winter Series, explained, “We are excited to open the 2024/2025 competitive season and to receive athletes from South America and the world. South American races are a platform for South American and world athletes to prepare for this 2024/2025 season and to share in the unique Cordillera de los Andes.” Last year, some of the best World Cup Teams raced here, and the conditions are world-class.

The South American Cup circuit will begin and continue with competitions in Chapelco (Argentina) and will have seven stops at different ski resorts in Chile and Argentina, setting to end in Corralco (Chile).
