South America Snow Sessions has arrived. We’ve made it. We’re here. We have officially landed in San Carlos de Bariloche, the most beautiful place in the world in the heart of Patagonia.
24 of the brightest young skier and snowboarders bounced into Buenos Aires and landed at, an Estancia, traditional Argentinian Ranch where everyone was able play. Bikes, horses, a killer soccer game, tennis, volleyball and ostriches. Some even got their very first taste of the local food. As we played the Asador was cooking up fresh meat slow roasted on an open fire. Berdo, SASS Coach, ” The ranch was pretty cool, a different experience for the kids. A foreign country, foreign meat, different from anything at home.”
Argentina, bright sunny day, new and old friends all transmitting the snow stoke. Who could ask for anything more? …. Well, how about a giant double decker bus pimped with TVs and lazy boys and lined with observation windows. This was our chariot that was to take us to one of the world’s ski and snowboard meccas
.6 hours of snowboard and ski videos, 8 hours sleep, and 3 hours of your face plastered up against the window drooling over the scenery later, we unloaded, unpacked, and nestled into our new home, Hosteria de la Luna, overlooking an enormous lake surround by ginormous snow capped mountains… and so it all begins…
