Argentina Extras
With limited space in print, many images don’t make the cut. Here are a few more shots from Bariloche, and the stories behind them.
Adam Yost tried everything on this sketchy little wallride when they shut the mountain down. Handplants, air to fakies, spins on and off the ledge, and this rock to fakie.
At SASS, part of the program is a morning of avalanche education. Guides Skylar Holgate and Alex Hunt lead a tutorial on snow stability tests.
This is the first feature you see when heading up the west side of Cerro Catedral. Camper Co Gougeon drops for the tourists on the chair.
Lynn Neil rides out of Utah and competes in USASA events, particularly boardercross. She was down to huck backies and this method over a little log.
Not ready to go home, Co Gougeon found this hop over Jeff Lavin in an abandoned shack at the end of the day.
The beach behind the SASS hotel is a good setting to wind down after a day of riding, before winding up for a night on the town.
Cody Wayment gets a little spine to air in Lagunas.
This might be why they call it lagunas…Lynn Neil and a view of the lake.
Free fernet and colas were a daily ritual in the mall at the bottom of Cerro Catedral.
The pigeons in Buenos Aires are ferocious…
A rather subdued vendor in downtown Buenos Aires.
Cody Wayment samples wallride #2.
The orange suits of high school tourists were ever-present at Cerro Catedral.
Andrew Burns leads the charge through the mossy trees of the lower mountain.
