In the last decade, SASS Global Travel (SGT) has made a name for itself as a gateway to the beautiful, rugged Patagonias of Argentina. The camp—situated at Cerro Catedral, one of Argentina’s premiere ski resorts—boasts a crew of skilled and experienced backcountry guides and coaches who dedicate their summers to teaching clients how to safely venture beyond the resort gates, and of course, taking clients to the sickest spots on the mountain.

If you’re not quite ready to stash the skis in the garage after a long 2012/13 season, and are keen to log some more turns alongside expert guides, a journey to the Southern Hemisphere should not be overlooked. Some of the added bonuses of a trip down south include: experiencing a foreign culture, chowing scrumptious local foods, immersing yourself in another language, and, of course, partying like a rockstar.

Above, you’ll find a gallery showcasing a handful of hot shots from SGT’s 2012 session. For more information about the SGT experience, visit sassglobaltravel.com/argentina.
