Chris Coulter Session 1 Edit

Chris Coulter, one of the most respected big mountain riders in snowboarding, has been absolutely crushing it this first session; hiking every and any line at Catedral from first chair to last, pushing riders’ limits on technical hikes and descents, educating the snowboarders on terrain management and snow safety.  Riding with Coulter is pretty much [...]

Vera Janssen

A few days ago, Vera Janssen, German snowboard pro via Whistler, British Columbia, showed up at the SASS compound to show the girls how to get in a proper backside slash.  Vera came straight from the soggy, melting pile of jibs in BC to the waist-deep blowerfest in Argentina and couldn’t be more stoked.  Vera [...]

16 year-old Henry Allen from Boulder, Colorado has been absolutely killing it since arriving at SASS; getting used to carrying speed into cliffs and chutes, trying to chase James Heim and Michelle Parker, and getting it down on some backcountry booters.  We’re stoked to have him as a part of our ski program.  Check Henry’s [...]

First Impressions of a SASS CIT

In June I was recruited to be a CIT (Coach in Training) for SASS, I had never ventured outside the United States, so I didn’t have any concept of what to expect in a foreign country.  I have now eaten my first Lomito, traveled over 5000 miles alone, and had my photos published to the [...]

Michelle Parker on EXPN.com

The homies over at EXPN sat down with SASS coach the reigning queen of rehab, Michelle Parker.  With her knee(s) strong and body in excellent shape, Michelle has been murdering laps on Laguna at Catedral, whipping the Session 1 campers into shape and showing them how to really make a turn.  Michelle’s got style for miles [...]

SASS Announces Greenhouse Project with My Little Footprint and 1 Step

Last year, one of our ski coaches, Bariloche native Mauri Cambilla, approached us with the idea of addressing a critical need in his community: better access to fresh fruits and vegetables.  During the winter months especially, access to fresh produce is limited, with much of it being imported from Chile, and is often out of [...]

The homies over at Dakine recently posted a sick video from their team trip down to Bariloche, Argentina with SASS last August with Leanna Pelosi, Austin Smith, Josh Dirksen, Eric Pollard, and Chris Benchetler.  Pow slashes, tree rides, backcountry kickers, blinding snowstorms; these guys got their fill!  Check the video and get yourself down for the [...]

At A Glance: Day One, Session One

 Yesterday marked the first on-hill day at SASS, which consisted of familiarizing the campers with Cerro Catedral’s endless terrain and holding the first section of the backcountry awareness class, with campers practicing beacon drills and digging snowpits.  As well, SASS BOUGHT the park this year, so Josh Lempert from Snow Grind has been getting after it [...]

SESSION ONE IS ON!!!

I started in the SASS office back in December, and this is my first time to Argentina, a country I’ve been gunning to visit for years, and the first time through the gauntlet of stoke that is South America Snow Sessions.  I broke my ankle earlier this summer trying to ski every month of the [...]

24DP Flat Rate ad with SASS & SGT

The folks over at 24DP are cooking up something awfully mean in the video kitchen… not going to spill any details but safe to say that with the help of Flate Rate Moving, SASS and SGT will be taking over NYC in the next couple weeks.  Keep your eyes peeled for the drop…       [...]

Final Surf Session before Argentina!

The SASS office staff have been sweating it out bigtime in the office the past few weeks, and likely because Mother Nature wanted Travis to get a little bit more training in for his pro surf career, a good chunk of swell arrived in the Seacoast this past weekend, allowing the office tools to dig [...]

 The homies over at Teton Gravity Research just dropped the trailer to their latest spectacle of athletic and visual excellence, Light The Wick.  Big news with the Jackson boys this year is the addition of skiing’s first ever 3D shots (although the USC Ski & Snowboard made a good effort this winter), which should do [...]
