Michelle Parker enters her 5th year as an SGT coach in Argentina. Not much can be said about Michelle that has not been said about an avalanche — she rips down mountains with the force of mother nature and leaves everything in her path destroyed. Michelle Parker, she really is a big deal.
Michelle’s story:
When I was 18 I traveled through South America with Garrett Russell. We explored most of the well known ski resorts in Chile and Argentina and met some incredible people along the way, one of those being Skylar Holgate. After hiking and skiing with Skylar in Las Lenas, I knew that I was hooked. Not only was I hooked on skiing in South America, but I was pretty much hooked on everything else related to skiing and culture and South America.
Skylar Holgate rides as much as, if not more than, anyone in the world. His north american season takes him from Silverton, CO to Alaska and feeds right into his South American winter where he teams up with SGT in Bariloche as Head of guiding and snow safety and one fe the best life coaches around.
Chris Coulter has been dominating in every aspect of everything since he was forged out of an untold element, deep from within a secret mountain of fire and magic. If you have ever ridden with or seen Chris ride you know that he takes the gnarliest lines and does the sickest tricks in the middle of his runs. Chris has no fear factor and will go bigger then anyone. His emotions are firmly snitched on his sleeves, which is great for the rest of us because he is one of the most fun people you can ever hang out with. SGT is seriously stoked to have Chris back as a guide/coach for his fourth season as camp badass. Coulter can literally kill a man with his legs as if it were an 60-degree first descent in Alaskan.
Our staff at SGT Argentina is the best in world, and people need to know more about what makes them great. In our first installment of “Who is SGT” we pull down the face mask to talk about toques, living in a trailer, and corndogs. Enjoy.
