Bariloche ski resort offers outstanding skiing and snowboarding and is very suitable for those who like to ski leisurely as compared with other resorts such as Las Lenas.

Vallecitos Ski Resort is a small ski resort that is situated near Mendoza and is where many residents learn skiing and snowboarding before moving up to bigger and more extensive ski resorts like Las Lenas, Chaperlco and Bariloche. Bolivia has the one ski resort that lays claim to being the highest lift served skiing in the world and it is also possible to ski tour some parts of Bolivia though one needs specialized guidance as well as better awareness of altitude.
