Boarding, Hanging, Observing Argentina
Here we are boarding, hanging, and observing every day down here in Argentina.
This is the base of Cerro Catedral eaarllyyyy in the AM when we show up. This was an amazing morning!
Supposedly, these dogs were used for back country and avalanche rescue...The barrel around their neck was used to hold whiskey for the victims to keep warm. These guys are so mellow, gotta love em.
The crew building a kicker. Cutting blocks and stacking.
The trees in Argentina.
Crazy winter clouds.
One of my campers, Chris Tearny here on top of a kicker overlooking Bariloche. The wind was so strong that he was just balancing his board forward and the wind was keeping it in place.
The camper bro's getting ready to drop. There was an inversion that morning, leaving the clouds socked in below over the lake. It was amazing out!
Tikos checking in with his new look....He's got mad stache skills down here in Argentina.

Cerro Catedral
Cerro Catedral is the resort in Bariloche. This place is so fun with all kinds of terrain to ride and ski. You can ride the lifts all day or go for many different hikes to get away and seek the good snow....Also, the views are insane from everywhere you are.
We built our first jump, which would have been so good, but the wind picked up causing speed to slow down...Oh well, more to come! We have just been covering all the areas of the mountain while doing safety and avalanche drills. It's epic and the guides are killing it, getting us ready for camp!
Vertigo
Michelle went Boarding and Nat went skiing-It was awesome
My buddy Lucas from Bariloche and me just getting done riding the goods through the moss trees.

First Jump build of the season.

Bariloche Argentina-Post 1
Bariloche, Argentina!!! I guess I'm back to winter with warm gear and my snowboard back in action. The food and wine is unreal and the people are super nice! We went to the mountain today to scope all the different zones that we will be using and this place has some epic terrain with everything you need at a mountain. Apparently the ski patrol here never do avalanche control, so thankful we have our guides before we have clearance to roll to zones-pretty much in bounds back country, which is good as long as we take our time. The weather is perfect, just waiting on more snow. I am working on my Spanish as well, but my buddy Lucas from here calls me Gringo Original-I gotta keep working on it! THis place has a mellow pace to it and the mountains and lakes are awesome. It feels good to be here!
