It is super sick when it snowed, but if their is no snow it is kinda sketch. I went to the first session and it was awesome, you will meet so many new and awesome people that will share their out looks and personalities that by the time you come home you will be a changed person.
The skiing is amazingly EXTREAMLY awesome, the mountain we when to last year (Valley Nevado) was soo sick, there was so much different terrain that varied from big cliffs, to steep runs, to a fun little park.
The food is on a hole another level of crazy good, the people are relatively nice if you stay out of their way, and the hotel you stay in is kool. the only problem was sharing a tiny little hotel room with 4 people, and sleeping in kids bunk beds (but i did not go to Chile for glamour accommodation so it did not bother me to much),it started to stink, as well as got extremely messy.

Any other questions you have you should PM schism, that kid has gone down there like 5 times now i think. Avoid talking to K_M cuz he hasn't been down there, and just asks schism the questions you have.

yea dude it snowed like a foot on the 3rd night and the day we left it snowed another foot. One of the nice things about skiing in Chile that no one skis pow so we were getting untracked pow throughout the whole week, which was AWESOME.

I went to evolve last year too, tons of fun and and all around great vibe. You will in now we be disapointed to say the least. It was fun only complaint was its sketchy when theirs no snow like woodwizard said, but usually there is a ton of snow so you really don't have to worry. My favorite part was deffinitly all the people everyone was really chill and it was really just a good vibe on and off the mountain.

PM me if you get a chance i love talking about it, great experince

I went to SASS for two weeks last summer. Hoping to go again this summer. It was so much fun. I've never been to Evolve but I'd say if you're slightly more park oriented=Evolve, backcountry/powder=SASS. But they both have a mixture of the two. PM me if you have any specific questions.

yea dude that came out wrong, its just there are so many little things that if you haven't been, you might not know the little things that make all the difference. I didn't want to call you out like that but I think if you are giving advise you should know what you are talking about.
Its kinda like going to a ski shop and asking to be boot fitted, yet the guy fitting you has no boot fitting experience.
But you should sell your Renegades to me so you can go down there this summer...:)

You'll have fun in Argentina. My experience with SASS was negative, having not been paid what I was told I would be when I signed my contract. They haven't paid up to this point, and as far as I know, have not paid a few of the other employees as well.

If they have, I would like to hear from them regarding my wages. I'm done reaching out.

There are lots of threads on here about it. Just search SASS.

i am from argentina, and this winter started in Exellent conditions! Snow in every resort and ready to track all the nice BC... don't expect park in the next week, maybe in 15 days or so... but who cares for the park when u have pow?
>>Come to Bariloche, if u can, there is a lot to do after the slopes... a really nice city, with lots of bars, discos, casino, and great food...
if u can plan your trip, i heard some negative things about sass aswell...
enjoy patagonia!
