    Was at Portillo 8/5/06 to 8/12/06. Was very impressed with staff, food and with the hotel. It is an older hotel; 1950 era but was great for skiing. This place is for someone who wants to ski daily. Very limited in other things to do. So go there to ski, eat and rest. Nice bars for adults but limited night time things for teens or children. Bring good book to read or movies for own dvd player. Also instructors for skiing were the best so sign up for daily skiing instruction.

    Greg -
    On July 11th we were at 180cm of snow for a storm that eventually left 225cm. That provided a great base for the 130cm that we just got in last two days. The skiing is phenomonal, some of the best in recent memory for most people here. Tuesday and Wednesday are supposed to be big snow days again. As for work, the hotel is full of great folks from all over the world and as long as its not puking snow we have plenty of work and we're not going anywhere. To those one their way, we look forward to having you here and you should be excited.

    Greg,

    Just days after your comment Portillo gets 7.5 feet - those who did leave will be kicking themselves now.
    *** I drove by Portillo in June 2000 - they were closed due to no snow. Had to go south to Termas de Chillan. It was well worth the effort.

    Ski Conditions (so far) this year (July 11 2006) are horrible, many guides are leaving and returning
    to their homelands for lack of work.

    We've been traveling from Hawaii to Portillo for four summers now. The traverse off of Roca has great chutes. The service is excellent and no lines. Aloha.

    Expensive and not too interesing pistes........nice off piste though.............but there`s only one hotel and the prices it asks are massive (plus their rental prices are big too). NOT for the budget skiier/boarder. It is a beautiful place though.
