El Arpa cat skiing has endless acres of advanced and expert freeride terrain reached by founder Toni Sponar's snowcats. In the past 3 seasons, every time we have cat skied at El Arpa, there have only been a dozen skiers and snowboarders to share over 5,000 acres of Andes powder!
It is unforgettable from the cactus and goat filled rough snowy-dirt road journey, to the deep powder turns, all the way to the end with a cold beer overlooking one of the Andes most spectacular sunsets.
"Imagine 5,000 acres of mostly expert terrain, two cats that can hold a maximum of 24, but average 4 people per day at the entire ski area. We´re talking about 2,300 vertical feet per run with views of Aconcagua and the green valley floor filled with vineyards, cactus and goats."
