Wake up to the snow sparkling under the brilliant Andean sun. Watch condors soar above you as you select the line of descent through fresh powder. Watch the sunset over the Lago del Inca from the warmth of the hot tub. This is a perfect day in Portillo.
Portillo has some of the best skiing in the Southern Hemisphere. It is not a ski area for the meek, its runs are steep, fun and exhilarating. With the resort being private, there are no crowds and often you can have the run all to yourself.
The sun is almost always shining in Portillo that you almost forget you are in winter. When the sun is not shining some of the most formidable snowstorms are taking place. The hotel’s amenities will keep you entertained while you wait out the storm or help you unwind and relax after a full day on the slopes. For night owls, the bar has live music nightly and a nightclub that starts going at midnight.
The NASTC program at Portillo is guaranteed to improve your skiing. ! The terrain and the convenience of the all inclusive hotel and ski in/out setting makes Portillo an ideal setting for a full immersion camp. NASTC’s approach to ski improvement and the curriculum for the Portillo course are surefire ways of improving your skiing.
