Portillo is an excellent ski resort. Great snow & excellent service.

Area-wise, it's not a big mountain by any stretch of the imagination, but there's plenty of off-piste stuff to entertain and keep you occupied. Definitely bring your avy gear if you're planning on doing a lot of off off-piste though as it is definitely avalanche country in many areas.

Terrain-wise, it's not really set up for freestylers or boarders. Portillo is definitely a skier's mountain, the euro-type skier. If you're a freestyler, you might be better off going somewhere else, but if you're into lots of cruisers, off-piste, steep chutes, then this is a great mountain. and besides, the scenery is to die for. it is one of the most beautiful settings for a mountain i've ever come across. You feel like you're in a different world when you spend that week in portillo. 

Communications-wise, there is an internet room.
Please check the [Internet Cafes] section.
