First Turns of the Season! ❄️⛷️

In mid-May, our guide team headed out for an early backcountry ski mission to check on snow conditions.

Since then, temperatures have dropped significantly and snow has continued to fall steadily—conditions are shaping up beautifully.

Early season is one of the best times for powder skiing, with cold temperatures and a low sun angle helping to keep the snow light and dry.

That said, the mountain huts can be very cold this time of year. We recommend bringing two down jackets if you have them, along with down pants and booties for staying warm and comfortable.

Hang about... Is that Queenstown? Look again. It's Copacabana on the shores of Late Titicaca, at 3,800 metres! At first glance the landscapes seem incredibly similar to the NZ South Island high-country.

Our expert South American guide Pablo Borjas Von Bach is running our next Bolivian Apacheta Trail trekking expedition starting the 12th of May. You'll find the details here. We'd love for you to join us. https://alpineguides.co.nz/pre-inca-apacheta-trail
