(01) Why this exists

South America skiing is harder to plan than it looks.

Distances are long. Weather varies wildly between Patagonia, the Andes Centrales and the south. Resort cultures differ. Lodging choices make or break the trip. The right answer depends on your dates, ski level, group, budget and how much sightseeing you want around the skiing.

This is a personalized planning service built on real ski-travel experience in Argentina and Chile. The goal is simple: help you avoid the mistakes that cost time, money and ski days.

Meet Cogo.

Real South America ski experience. Practical Argentina and Chile ski trip planning.

My name is Khosro Ronagh, but everyone calls me Cogo. I am 43 years old and have been skiing since I was around 7 or 8. Over the past five years, I have been skiing around 150 to 200 days per year across Japan, Alaska, Colorado, Argentina, Chile, and major alpine ski destinations around the world.

I created this website because when I first came to South America to ski, I realized how hard it was to find the information that actually matters. TripAdvisor, Booking.com, resort websites, and generic blog posts can help, but they often miss the practical details: where to stay, whether to rent a car, which resort fits your ski style, how to handle weather, where to find rentals, where to go for après ski, and how to combine skiing with Buenos Aires, Santiago, Mendoza, Patagonia, Atacama, or the Andes.

This website is built to help international skiers and snowboarders plan smarter ski trips to Argentina and Chile.

(07) Why it's different

Not Europe. Not North America.

Long distances
A 'short' Patagonia road trip is 5–7 hours. Internal flights are part of most multi-resort plans.
Weather variance
Bariloche, Las Leñas, Santiago and Chillán can have totally different conditions on the same week.
Resort cultures vary
From a single hotel that runs your week (Portillo) to chalet villages (La Parva) to real cities (Bariloche).
Lodging matters more
Where you sleep determines transfer time, food options, storm-day flexibility — it's not interchangeable.
