Patagonia Powder Tour

Off Piste guided ski and snowboard trip for advanced and experts in Patagonia Argentina chasing the trail of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, skiing deep powder, eating like Gauchos, and exploring endless advanced and expert off piste and back country terrain.

This 10-day PowderQuest trip has been featured in Snowboarder Magazine!

We start in Northern Patagonia's beautiful ski town of Villa La Angostura, skiing the fun terrain of Cerro Bayo. Then head south deep into true Patagonia. Three nights in the town of Esquel riding quite possibly the coldest powder in the Argentine Andes! Just when you thought it could not get any better, we finish our tour in Bariloche with huge amounts of inbounds and backcountry lines, and some of the best nightlife and restaurants in South America.

This is a true powder adventure in Patagonia.

Guest Testimonials

"As my ski trip to South America approached, I expected long runs in knee deep powder. What I didn't expect was that our two guides, Max and Mo, would do such an excellent job in making me experience the true wonders of Patagonia, both on and off the mountain. Whether it was in the restaurants, bars, discos or tracking down hikes and runs that were excellent regardless of the snow conditions, Max and Mo showed me why PowderQuest was the right choice."
