Patagonian Summer – pretty damn sweet by Miles Clark

Bariloche, Argentina – The past three weeks down here with SASS have been pretty damn sweet.  And by pretty damn sweet I mean that we’ve been ripping through old growth forest, hucking perfect granite cliffs, bushwhacking bamboo underbrush, getting twisted off backcountry booters, drinking free fernet & cokes, dominating rail jam comps (SASS took 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place), and oh yeah…..skiing DEEP POW in the middle of summer!  Crazy, right!?  Wrong.  I’m now realizing that I should have been doing this a long time ago.

The SASS crew has been down here since July 14th, and we’ve gotten a lot done:  a week of avy, medical, and guide training,  two weeks of ripping pow with the clients at Cerro Catedral, full-day backcountry missions, and we even have a team that is deep in the backcountry at Refugio Frey right now.  Bariloche is having a stellar winter this year and we can't find any good reason to let it go to waste.
