Pricing for our 75th Anniversary Ski Experience from August 6-14, 2025 is now available. The land only price is $3,750. Watch for details on the website. The trip includes all transfers, 1 night in Vina del Mar on the pacific coast with sightseeing in Valparaiso, 4 days of high-altitude ski in/out skiing, 4 nights in Valle Nevado, followed by 2 nights in Santiago. Chile is in the same time zone as Toronto, so no lost time due to jet lag! A delicious breakfast is included daily, 4 full dinners, 1 amazing lunch at the winery, wine tasting, and appetizers on the first night.
The trip will be hosted by the owner of SKICAN, who has been there several times and will ensure that all of the elements of this trip run smoothly and will lead a walking tour of Santiago. This is a great destination for intermediate and advanced skiers. I’ve started a list of those who have a serious interest in this trip and will reach out to confirm their spots now that we have pricing. Due to the short timeline to book it, you will be paying the tour operator directly for this trip. We can have up to 20 members on this trip, so don’t hesitate to let me know if you have not already done so at longtrips@hpsc.ca. Airfare will be booked separately to allow flexibility to extend your stay in South America or ski at another South American ski resort, such as Portillo. Don’t miss your chance to enjoy this bucket list destination with other HPSC members!
You can sign up on the website, add your name to the waiting list, or reach out to the trip leader to find out if there is a spot for you due to a cancellation. Contact information can be found under the Long Trips tab.
