We found more than our share. And in August, just making a couple of turns feels like one is getting more than one's share. But I don't think summer ski withdrawal contributed anything to my appraisal, and appreciation, of Portillo. A week at Portillo is simply one of the best ski experiences you can have, on any continent, in any season. The view from the Hotel, out across the frozen lake.
Skiers can descend slopes on both sides, and skate back across the lake to the lifts.
