Even though it was a poor snow year for Chile, our fantastic guide Ro made the best of what was there. We had 4 bluebird days in Farrelones, and Ro's knowledge of the resorts ensured we found decent lines every day. The snow wasn't good enough to do cat skiing, so we spent two days in Portillo. Again, Ro helped us make the best of poor conditions. Aside from the skiing, the accommodations were excellent including three nights at the Powder Lodge - an experience in of itself with great food and fun. Our driver Marcelo was a great guy and very skilled at his job. David (Gomez) and CASA deliver on what they promise, and his entire Team is on the same page in being committed to providing an excellent guest experience. I hope to do at again and unreservedly recommend this trip for anyone.

Just got back from the Classic Shortie trip. My son (age 17) and I had a great experience. The tour is set up well and maximizes time skiing. Getting to meet other skiers, experiencing new foods and Chile ski areas made for a great trip.

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience in Chile the winter of 2019. The main course of this adventure is 3 ski days at Nevados de Chillán and 3 ski days at CorralCo. Alot of thought, planning, and execution went into this trip by CASA tours staff and it allowed me to focus on my skiing. I went solo on this trip to South America. The other guests that I met on this trip were very good skiers and snowboarders from Norway, Florida, Atlanta, Jersey, Oregon, Minnisota. Leading us were our guides Ro (Rodrigo) from Patagonia Region of South America and Anna from Nelson BC. The business owner SkiEO was our tail guide and the three of them all made sure we got the most out of our vacations. Mario from Santiago was our Sprinter Van driver thoughout our trip and kept us on schedule during our 3 travel days . . . getting us between our Lodgings, Restaurants, Ski Mountains and Thermals.

I would recommend this trip to you if you are a good all mountain ski/snowboard skills. My recommendation to you if you go on this trip and you want to ski some more: At the end of this trip, instead of flying back to Santiago from Temuco as planned, rent a car at Temuco and go visit Ski Pucón for an additional 3-days of skiing. Hiking to the Summit of Pucón is very popular. Ski Pucón also has good skiing but gets old after a day or two, but not as good as CorralCo or Chillán. Then drive back to Santiago. Need more ski time ? Drive into Argentina and go ski Bariloche or Las Lenas. If you do want to travel to both Chile and Argentia via the same rental car, the paperwork must be arranged in advance.

Incredible Experience

Casa Tours was definitely made my trip unforgettable. Gomez and the guides, Anna and Ro, were super knowledgeable about the terrain and all around nice people. Our tour was originally scheduled to spend a few days around Arpa / Portillo, but due to a lack of snow, Gomez moved that part of our trip down to Chillan. We ended up having fresh snow for the first few days. The mountains were awesome, the people were great and this was one of the most fun vacations I've taken. I would strongly recommend booking with Casa and I plan on coming back soon!

This was a great trip! I researched some other tour options, but am glad I chose this one! Chile was having a difficult snow season, but no worries Gomez was able to adjust the trip on short order to get us into some great conditions. Him and his crew are top notch. They are keyed into the mountains, local culture and businesses so have you covered the whole time. I had a blast with the whole gang; guides and guests. If / when you go spend some time in Santiago.

“Just do it!”

Bob
07/09/2019
Skiing in the Andes had been on my “bucket list.” After skiing six days with CASA Tours it’s now on my “how soon can I go back?” list. The above tree line skiing on the slopes of volcanic peaks was great. Lift stats don’t tell the story of these mountains. The lifts are just the gateways to these big, open mountains.

Thanks to Gomez’s deep local knowledge and relationships, the after ski activities and meals were memorable too. Best of all was spending time with the experienced and interesting guides and other guests.

CASA Tours works well for anyone from solid intermediate to serious advanced. Be sure to spend a day or two in Santiago as well.

Our First Trip to Chile

Lynn Reeves

My teenage son and I had a great first trip to Chile with CASA Tours. CASA Tours made an adjustment about 3 weeks before the trip started to a slighly different itinerary to make sure we had the best snow and skiing experience possible. The communication before, during and after the trip has been superb. The lodging and food was local and very comfortable. Staying and eating locally was important to me because while we were focused on skiing, we also wanted to experience Chillean culture. The staff was professional and I appreciated the care and attention to detail everyone with CASA displayed. Thank you for an amazing experience!

I went the first week of August with my brother and my two sons (early college age). It was awesome. It was a real adventure with like minded people. Gomez made the executive decision to pursue some snow further south and it was the perfect pick with fresh powder and bluebird days. I would highly recommend this trip!

Best trip of my life! David really knows how to lead a group to fully learn and embrace a culture in which I had never experienced before. From showing us around the mountains and making the call to switch up locations to the perfect restaurants and pubs to enjoy a post ski meal! Very professional crew and very fun all around!

Memories To Last A Lifetime

This was my second CASA trip with my son, and once again we had a blast. It didn't hurt that a major system blew in off the Atlantic two days in. Gomez (owner) and his guides (Ro and Anna) know these mountains well and guided us into some truly epic freshies in open powder fields. They really go out of their way to make sure your experience on, and off, the mountain is fun and positive. They led us to some great spots to enjoy apre and great chilean food. Logistically, everything went smooth. It was stress free, from meeting us at the airport in Santiago and getting us on a connecting flight down to Corralco, to setting us up in a beautiful hotel in Santiago our last night, and getting us to the airport the next day.

Bottom line, CASA will take care of you and maximize your fun as much as possible. Thanks again CASA.

Dave at Casa Tours runs an amazing trip. From the pre planning info to the ski areas we visited to the incredible restaurants we ate at to the markets we perused to the guides that were super helpful, start to finish we had a great time. Dave even made adjustments to the tour at his expense as we went along to make sure we hit the best snow. I highly recommend Casa Tours and the Classic Shortie trip.
