Earn college credit through Sierra Nevada College on some of the best snow and terrain on the planet, with world class coaches, guides and professors.

SASS Global Travel has teamed up with Sierra Nevada College to offer summer courses at SASS Argentina 2015. SNC will operate an academic program on the SASS Argentina campus, all taught by SNC faculty. Students from any college or university—and high school students age 15 or older—are eligible to receive college credit from SNC for courses taken during the program. Students who enroll in SNC courses will co-enroll in the full-service SASS Argentina experience, which includes: lodging, lift passes, breakfast / tea / dinner daily, backcountry guiding and coaching every day, local airport transfers and an authentic Argentine asado BBQ. Students are housed in on-mountain shared lodging alongside SASS coaches, guides and the SNC faculty. This creates a vibrant community of athletic and academic exchange which inevitably spills over into the after-hours environment.
