Why Signage At South American Ski Resorts Can Leave You Feeling Remarkably Lost
Skiing in South America is an amazing opportunity for those of us hoping to keep the snow season going throughout the Northern Hemisphere’s summer, but there are plenty of things to be aware of before you head south. From sometimes terrifying surface lifts to unique resort structures, skiing in Argentina, Chile, and other South American countries is quite a bit different than skiing in North America. One of those things, as PeakRankings points out, is the frequent lack of solid trail maps and signage around the mountains.
This is not true for all resorts in South America. Many of the resorts more frequently visited by North Americans and other foreigners are well built with frequent, readable maps and signs placed around the mountain and plenty of options for phone or printed maps.
However it’s important that you go understanding that some mountains might leave you feeling a bit more lost than others. Take your time to understand where you are in these cases.
