SASS is located in the picturesque city of Bariloche, Argentina on the shores of Lago Nahuel Huapi, just minutes from the Cerro Catedral ski resort.  Cerro Catedral’s terrain leaves little to be desired with everything from steep couloirs, wide open powder fields, cliffs, cornices and cat tracks to spacious “enchanted” forests and technical bamboo jungles…and that’s just inbounds.  With the heavy and abundant maritime storms that pound down on the Northern Patagonian Andes it’s no wonder they measure snowfall in meters.  On a regular basis a single overnight storm would transform previously unridable terrain into our newest playground.
 
Our crew wasted no time taking full advantage of what each day had to offer.  From the second the wheels left the tarmac, Colman, Jack, Cam, Annalise, Phil and Jimmy were embracing every moment of their travels.  The entire Jackson Hole crew made a powerful impression on the SASS campers and staff, both on and off the hill.  Whether it was their dance moves, bags of tricks, positive attitudes or enthusiasm for whatever the day brought, they made friends and impressions that will last forever.
 
SASS’ staff prides itself on it’s ability to run a world class snowboard and freeride operation that caters to riders of all abilities and desires.  It was completely apparent that everyone involved with SASS is there because they eat, sleep and breath skiing or snowboarding (or both).  On any given day the SASS staff may be battling mother nature and/or the ever present “A-factor,”* but no matter what, they produce an experience that makes each and every camper, pro, coach, and visitor call home begging to stay longer.
 
If I had ten pages in this magazine, I still couldn’t tell you in enough detail how amazing our trip was.  We made friends and contacts from all over the world.  We ate incredible meals.  We learned about avalanche and backcoutry safety.  We experienced a totally different culture.  We spoke a different language.  We hucked backcountry booters and endless cliffs. And, of course, we rode deep, deep snow in absolutely mind blowing terrain.  I feel incredibly fortunate that I was able to be a part of this amazing experience and am already planning our trip back next summer- you should come too!
