El Colorado, Farellones and Portillo hit 1°C with corn snow; Cervinia recorded 0°C and corn snow.
El Colorado (Región Metropolitana de Santiago) recorded 1°C and corn snow today, making it the standout in the Santiago cluster. The temperature and surface type point to classic spring corn on groomed runs and the upper pitches. That gives dependable mid-morning to afternoon turns rather than variable crust or heavy wet snow. El Colorado’s reading sets the tone across neighbouring lifts in the region.
Farellones matched El Colorado at 1°C and corn snow, so the central Chile resorts are presenting a uniform spring profile across their terrain. Portillo, over the pass in Valparaíso, also sat at 1°C with corn snow, offering similar daytime softness on its higher slopes. Up in Europe, Cervinia reported 0°C and corn snow, a touch colder at altitude but still producing the same late-season surface. In total, four qualifying resorts reported corn conditions today, split between central Chile and the Italian Alps, and none showed fresh, unconsolidated snow.
Those temperatures and the corn designation suggest overnight firming with the best turns arriving after the slopes warm, typically late morning. The current readings point to consistent spring skiing across these resorts for the next day or two, rather than fresh fall lines, so plan for predictable, fast turns and the usual attention to changing sun exposure on different aspects.
