Inside the Portillo, Chile ski experience—from daily life and family-friendly lodging to what makes this independent resort so unique.
And for our Ski Moms community, there’s a little added bonus:
Enjoy 10% off your stay for bookings between June 20 and August 1 by emailing [email protected] and mentioning SKIMOMS.
Last week, we covered how to plan a trip to Portillo. In this episode, we’re getting to the heart of it: what makes this iconic Chilean ski resort feel so different once you arrive.
We’re joined by Ellen Guidara, who serves on the board of Portillo and previously led its marketing. From arriving as a young ski instructor after Middlebury to returning after an 11-year career at Disney, Ellen brings a rare, personal perspective on the resort’s evolution and enduring magic.
Recorded over tea at Portillo, this conversation explores the rhythm, traditions, and intentional choices that define the experience—from shared tables and afternoon tea to remaining independent in a world of mega passes.
If you’re curious about what keeps families coming back year after year, this episode brings that feeling to life.
