Camshaft from Chile writes:

Not a ski area but a lift-accessed place where people can learn to ski. The only lift actually worth skiing is closed from a lack of maintenance and the rest have less than 200m vertical. So don't go there if you are already a skier and want to do some normal alpine downhill skiing. Backcountry is good but also dangerous if you are not experienced (fog, wind, ice etc).

The concession gives the gambling hotel chain at the "Gran Hotel Pucon" administration rights of the ski area and they have no experience or desire to make it a real ski area. Pretty tho.
