South America is experiencing its snowiest start to the season in 30 years, promising an exceptional ski season for 2024/2025. Early-season snowfall has been abundant, with multiple storms covering ski resorts in Chile and Argentina.
Capitalizing on these ideal conditions, Chile is set to host several races throughout July, August, September, and October. The season opener will take place at El Colorado with two FIS Giant Slalom races on July 25th and 26th. These races are part of the Ford Chile Winter Series Visa, a snow sports circuit that features various disciplines, including Para Alpine, Cross Country, Ski, and Snowboard Cross.
The Chile Winter Series and the South American Cup circuit are eager to welcome athletes from across the globe. They promise an exhilarating month of high-level competition infused with South American camaraderie and racing spirit.
Jorge Mandru, chief of the Chile Winter Series, expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “We are excited to open the 2024/2025 competitive season and to receive athletes from South America and around the world. South American races serve as a platform for athletes to prepare for the season and to experience the unique atmosphere of the Cordillera de los Andes.” Last year, the region hosted some of the top World Cup Teams, and the conditions proved to be world-class.
The South American Cup circuit will commence and continue with competitions in Chapelco, Argentina, spanning seven different ski resorts in Chile and Argentina, and concluding in Corralco, Chile.
