Avalanche Education in Argentina
Integrated experiential backcountry education is at the core of the SASS Argentina experience. We want to give our clients the platform to take their skiing or riding to the next level and leave with a greater understanding of what it takes to be successful in the backcountry. Avalanche conditions in Argentina are unique. Our guides have extensive experience in this zone and enjoy passing along the knowledge gained over the years. In addition to our included avalanche awareness seminar and required on-mountain avalanche safety scenario practice, we offer AAA Level I courses.

Our course instructors consider SASS Argentina to be the best place to take a course due to the terrain, the supportive environment and the focus on experiential education rather than time in the classroom.
