Is there a usual month where Bolivian skiing is reliable? Is it July / August like Chile or does it have a funny rainy-season snowfall pattern like Peru?
Any advice, objectives, hints and tips appreciated!

Cheers!

The climbing season is June, July, August so I'm guessing it's not then

"Chacaltaya Ski Resort stands at an altitude of 5,375m (17634 ft) above sea level. It’s the world’s highest ski resort, or rather it was… Only memories of the good old days remain at this place. Snow is gone, and so has the skiing. The worst part of all this? It is not coming back."

So you may be being optimistic!

The Andes by John Biggar says skiing from valley only from August to October in latitudes 35 degrees southwards. Otherwise skiing is on individual mountains, March to May (end of wet season) in Bolivia but with significant crevasse dangers
