Ben Girardi, SGT’s staff photographer down here in Argentina, has been keeping a running tally of the sickness from down here in Bariloche.  Here’s a few gems from the past few days that should keep you slaking for winter…

Head Coach Andrew Burns, back 7 to stomp.  First try, no warm up.

The biggest backcountry mission in SGT’s history, some great hot lapping shredding off of Nubes, backflip attempts in the pow, and creative shredding in the Gondola trees.  It’s all in a week down here at SGT Argentina… did we mention another 100+ cms are on the way this week?

Session 1 Ski.

Spots still available in the Roxy Women’s Session and our two Adult Sessions, both going down Sessions 5 & 6 from August 20th-27th and August 27th-September 3rd.  Pow is deep and slopes are EMPTY here in Bariloche – get down here now!!

While we ate lunch at the top of Laguna the other day, we had the pleasure of watching our guides Skylar Holgate and Chris Coulter, along with Unofficial Networks’ Miles Clark and Eric Bryant, get the season’s first lines in a zone we call Little AK off the back of the resort.  Requiring an hour and a half hike to the top of the ridge and massive hike out from the bottom of the valley, Little AK is not for the faint of heart and is where we take only the clients who’ve proven their ability to handle themselves in the backcountry.

However, if you’re game, it’s some of the best runs our clients will ever ski.  Here the Unofficial guys capture a great day opening up Little AK.  Game on!
