Portillo is South America’s premiere ski resort, famous for its majestic setting and deep snow. Once you go, you’ll never want to leave.  There is a reason we keep going back to this friendly, exclusive and exhilarating resort.  Ski down to the glacier-blue Inca Lake or traverse into huge bowls amidst 15,000ft Andean peaks. With 14 lifts, 23 runs and all the snow of a maritime range, Portillo is home to big mountain extremists, world-class racers and everyday carvers; but amidst the social atmosphere of the living room and the late night disco, everyone is equal.

This is one of our favorite courses as Portillo is unlike any other resort in the world. Its majestic Andean setting is weaved amongst Incan folklore and the ultimate in skiing culture and history.  The incredible setting and atmosphere of Portillo will lift your soul and capture your heart.  Portillo offers its guests world class skiing, dining and lodging.  Gastronomy and hospitality are held to the highest standards and the terrain is legendary.  Portillo has its own gymnasium, fitness gym, swimming pool, spa, movie theatre and nightclub.  You don’t have to leave this Andean paradise for anything; Portillo has it all, in fact you may never want to leave.  At Portillo, you become part of the family.  You will encounter great camaraderie during your stay and can expect to make lifelong friends as you live, laugh and ski side by side in this Andean treasure.

The NASTC ski training camp addresses the three major components to successful skiing performance: technique, fitness, and equipment.  By addressing all 3 components in a full immersion multi-day ski training program you will make substantial improvements to your skiing.  The NASTC staff is comprised of the top ski instructors in the United States, members of the PSIA National Alpine Team and the teachers of teachers.
