How will we meet you at the airport and what day should I arrive? If you are coming from outside Argentina, we will meet you at the only door out of Argentina Customs at the international airport in Buenos Aires. Your BSC host will be waiting for you and will take you to the domestic airport for your flight to Bariloche (two hours long). At the Bariloche airport your BSC host will welcome you and will grab the shuttle with you to base camp. The arrival and departure days are the first and last days of the camps (Saturday usually) and Pickup/Drop is between 9AM-3PM.

How are the campers supervised?
24 hour supervision is provided. The campers are supervised at all times on the mountain and during activities. The staff and camp director live at the "House" to make sure that everyone is happy. Our ratio of staff to campers is at least 1 staff for every 6 campers maximum.

What ages and abilities do you take?
Everyone is welcome at our camp, if it's your first time on the snow or if you're improving your park riding . The average camper is in the late teens. We have worked with campers as young as 11 and as old as late thirties. We find that our older campers like our activities just as much or sometimes more than our younger campers. We have coaches for all ability levels and our system allows you to ride and learn as much as you want with who you want. We also have designated adult sessions separated from kids and teens.

What is the snow like?
Since we are located on the Southern Hemisphere our winters go from June to October. Our snow conditions vary from dry to wet powder from July to early September, and tipically spring conditions during September and October. Our riding area is the ski resort Cerro Catedral, one of the biggest in the Southern Hemisphere, with 600 hectares (1482 acres) of riding terrain.

Typical Schedule: (sample only as times and activities may change).
7:00-9:00 am | Roll out of bed as breakfast awaits for you.
8:00-5:00 pm | Ride hard, all day coaching, lunch at the mountain.
6:00-8:00 pm | Activities at base camp, ping pong, paintball, videogames and video analysis of your progression.
8:00-9:00 pm | Dinner
9:00-11:00 pm | More activities and fun free time.

How much spending money should I bring?
All you need is money for presents and money for lunches at the mountain (U$S10 to 30 daily) We think about $20 per day is enough but, hey, everybody is different.

Where can I rent or buy snowboard equipment?
We will hook you up with our friendly snowboard and skiing rental shop, rental equipment (board and boots) is included in our camp prices.

What are the sleeping arrangements?
We put campers of the same age and gender together in the rooms. We are always on hand to adjust the living situation and keep everyone happy. We can accommodate friends of the same age who want to room together. Rooms at our camp are commonly for three campers and can be adjusted for up to 6 at a time.
