It has been a busy season in the world of SASS.

The SASS & EESA New England School Tour has not slowed down one bit with the latest stop happening at Vermont Academy bringing the total stops up to 14 for the year. A huge thanks goes out to Jamal Reid and the all VA crew for welcoming us onto the campus. We even got a short shred on their private park behind the school. So cool. Past SASS family members Nick Woytuck, Josh Eichen (currently holding court in Burlington)and the legendary Steve Denmark all came out of Vermont Academy.

For some reason every time we visit a school to do a SASS presentation it dumps snow. Vermont Academy was no exception. If you want SASS to visit your school show some videos, give out free stuff and make it snow hit us up!!!! info@sasnowsessions.com

The SASS family (coaches, campers and pros) have been killing it everywhere this season. Time to give out some props as the hard work put in by the people below is paying off. Each month we will add to the list and recognize all the people who help make South America Snow Sessions the best camp on the planet.

  • Head SASS Freeride Coach James Heim has been everywhere lately. He landed a cover of Powder Magazine and a 2 page check out called “The Bionic Man” in yet another Powder. Heim’s segment in MSP’s latest movie 7 Sunny Days is so sick, you have to see it. In addition he is also designing his own ski for Head, which is sure to be a Backcountry Freeride weapon. James is one of the nicest guys and best coaches I know. Come ski with him this summer at SASS.

  • SASS Snowboard Coaches Andrew Burns and Robin Van Gyn were featured in a 3 page story by Ed Herbold about Argentina and South America Snow Sessions in the latest Snowboard Canada. We love Canadians…and ED of course. Check it out:

SASS Team Member Sean Ryan

 has been having a sick season competing all over the East Coast. Sean stepped up to compete at the Aspen Open last week. He took down 19th in Slopestyle out of a stacked field of 160 pros from all over the world. We predict a bright snowboarding future for Mr. Ryan. Keep your eyes on this kid.
