Southern Lake Heli Skiing
Powder South was founded in 2002 by a pair of noted ski and mountaineering entrepreneurs and guides: Rodrigo Mujica and Joaquin Oyarzun. They have dedicated their lives to mountain life and to excellence in mountain guiding and adventure travel.
Powder South operates in the Chilean Andes (July – August), Argentinian Andes (July to September) and also in Patagonia (September – October). They can also charter yacht heliskiing in Patagonia, Antartica and Greenland if you have super deep pockets !
Powder South packages resemble a lot the packages you find offered by Canada operators: Lodging in a 5 star lodge, fine cuisine, powder skis and safety equipment provided …
In Chile, they operate from a few luxury lodges in various valleys: Maipo, Cipreses, Cortaderal and Cachapoal valleys. It is also possible to be based in Santiago in some of the city 5 stars hotels to heliski the central Andes. It is also possible to do a combo package in two lodges or Santiago and a lodge. 3 and 6 days packages are available.
