La Parva, Chile http://www.laparva.cl/
Located just 40 miles from the Arturo Merino Benitez International Airport in Santiago, Chile, La Parva offers more than 27 miles of trails and 250 inches of snowfall annually. Its winter season extends from June to September making it the perfect addition to the primarily North American-based Powder Alliance. Pass holders from La Parva will have the chance to ski North America during the winter of 2017/18 and pass holders from those areas will be able to ski Chile the following summer.
La Parva consists of 15 lifts, 48 trails, and 3,021 feet of pristine vertical. There are two snowboard parks, several downhill race courses, and nearby heli-skiing operations. With modern buildings that seem to hang from its slopes, La Parva offers both hotels and private condos filled with world-class amenities.
Want to bring the kids? La Parva is focused on families and its school offers ski, snowboard, and telemark lessons for ages 3 and up. Lessons are taught in English, Spanish, Portuguese, and French.
Although the winter season is, without a doubt, the economic engine of the resort, La Parva offers plenty of summertime activities as well with a base camp at the bottom of its Las Aguilas chair offering easy access for climbers, mountaineers, and mountain bikers.

Bogus Basin is Idaho’s second largest winter resort with 2,600 incredible acres just 16 miles from the state’s capital in Boise. This year they are celebrating their 75 th winter in operation and have announced more than $4 Million in improvements for both winter and summer. Bogus is now one of the fastest growing resorts in the country and a new hub for national business travelers and conventions.
Bogus Basin is easy to fly to, easy to drive to, and because it is so close to Boise State, it offers terrific terrain parks and night riding 7 nights a week. 1,800 vertical feet, 3 high-speed quads, 10 lifts in all, plus another 23 miles of sweat-popping Nordic terrain. At 7,582 feet, its summit is the highest point in the Boise Ridge Mountains offering breathtaking views of the valley below.
Since the time of the 19 th century gold rush, Bogus Basin has been a hot spot for winter sports in the North West. Alf Engen, the father of the American powder technique, actually selected the site in 1939 and it has been operating continuously ever since.
