In a country where there is little structure to practice snow sports, beautiful mountain landscapes call snowboarding and ski fans to live the adventure of their snowy slopes.

snowboarding and alpine ski in Mexico.

Mexico presents a paradoxical situation in terms of the sports activity of snowboarding and alpine skiing since despite being a country where snow is common, there is little structure to perform these Winter sports .

Despite being a very mountain territory, it seems difficult for most Mexicans to travel to these places to practice snow sports during their vacation. Actually, for the inhabitants of Mexico these Sports are elite and only a few dare to venture in them.

For this, it is true that Mexico has beautiful mountains as well as various volcanoes that present interesting challenges for skiers, snowboarders, climbers and other adventurers.

In its central plateau, we will find an approximate latitude of 19º N, which categorizes as high mountain any elevation above 4000 meters above sea level. With knowledge of mountaineering or specialized guides, it is possible

Some of the Mountains higher in Mexico:

The Pico de Orizaba or CitlaraltépetlIn Veracruz it is the highest elevation of the Mexican Republic. This volcano with its 5,747 meters high looks a top of snow throughout the year. In the skirts of this mountain, good conditions can be found for alpine skiing and snowboarding .

The Popocatépetl It rises with 5.452 m of altitude and is at the limit of the states of Mexico, Morelos and Puebla. Even active, it constitutes the second largest elevation in the country and lives cover of perpetual snows .

The Iztaccíhuatl , a neighbor of Popocatepetl, has an altitude of 5,282 m and lies in the states of Mexico and Puebla. His name means the sleeping woman for her three elevations that evoke her head, chest and feet. This is an option for the ski and snowboarding adventurers in Mexico.

The Nevado de Toluca or xinantécatl is the fourth highest volcano in the country, it rises to 4558 m and is located near Toluca. This Volcano Extingo houses in its crater two beautiful lagoons separated so one day it was a lava current. They are named after the Laguna del Sol and the Lagoon of theLuna and are the home of vestiges of pre -Hispanic ceremonies that celebrated this place. It also presents snow in certain seasons, so some skiers and snowboarders venture freely on their snowy slopes.

The "free ride" way.

The Nevado de Colima with an altitude of 4,450 m in the state of Jalisco. His top is shown by snow during much of the year. This is another option in Mexico for snow sports fans.

What other options? Despite the failure of different projects of winter skiing stations in Mexico, there are still some options to carry out these winter activities. For all those who do not want to carry out these activities under "free descent" ThisOption will provide all the emotion of snowboarding and alpine skiing and peculiar contact with the high mountain nature, set with all the comforts and services of a center prepared to receive interested practitioners such as your and your family.
The favorable snow conditions of the southeast of the state of Coahuila allowed a unique tourism development in its kind in Mexican territory around snow skiing. Since 2002, the first Alpine ski center in the Sierra de Arteaga called forests of Monte Real allows you to perform this activity practically all year

Currently, in the Sierra Nevada and Tarahumara there are construction projects of two large winter sports where in addition to the tracks, there will be hotels, apartments, restaurants, etc.
