La Hoya holds its snow like few others: the south-facing slopes keep dry powder for weeks after each storm, and its bowl is a liftline-free freeride classic. It's one of the cheapest big resorts in the country — flat-rate pricing in 2026 — and Esquel, 13 km away, still has real Patagonian-town prices. For those who put snow and budget over infrastructure.
