El Colorado's cone-shape peak offers fun lift access terrain, but most of our time here will be taking advantage of the fact that El Colorado, linking with Valle Nevado and La Parva offer South America's largest resort and amazing back country ski terrain.
El Colorado, one hour from Santiago, Chile and just steps away from the village of Farellones has steep lines dropping throughout the cliff bands seen from Valle Nevado.
The East face of El Colorado's cone usually has the best snow, as the Andean winds deposit large amounts of snow here.
