Summer Shred (Bariloche, Argentina)

Esaaa!! Bariloche esta re-bueno. Y si no hay tanta nieve... estan los asados.. la noche... los vinos...

cuanto?  haha... I don't actually understand spanish.

Originally posted by Xhaustin It depends on the plane ticket usually, but for 2 weeks its normally around $2500 tops. That includes everything, shuttles, lodging, breakfast, lift, private boardpark, guide, video analysis, Signal & Union 2011-2012 board & binding demos, daily transportation...etc. BUT thats just a rough estimate, it could be cheaper when the time gets closer. You pay a partial payment, and the rest when you get there.

no no, that is a cheaper option though, realistically the cost for the camp is more around $2000, with flight it is more like around $3000 give or take. All the way to Bariloche, not BA. The camp will cover the bus from international to national airport. Which is about 45 min apart. The cheapest way to book your flight is through flow viajes (from what ive found) there is a link on the site, they work with the camp...and can try to make the overall cost as affordable as possible. < id="gwProxy" ="">< ="jsCall;" id="jsProxy" ="">

That's pretty tight they hook you up with oh-12 boards and bindings-so do you not need to bring your own board at all?  Cuz that would cut down on transportation costs, depending on the airline and oversize luggage etc.

More like 50-100 bucks each way.  And if I'm spending 3 or 4 grand, I'm going to need to save every extra hunid bucks I can.  Plus getting to ride next year's boards for free on top of not having to pay to check your own is valuable in its own way.

one week I would guess is atleast a few hundred cheaper...I really only have most details on 2 weeks, plus its pretty early planning right now. Almost everyone books 2 week sessions, or will come for a week an end up staying another lol. Its something about the area man...you just dont want to leave, or stay as long as possible.< id="gwProxy" ="">< ="jsCall;" id="jsProxy" ="">

It is possible to fly to Buenos Aires from many U.S. cities. Miami, N.Y., L.A. Dallas, Chicago, San Francisco, Atlanta, are the most important. American Airlines, LAN, United, Aerolineas Argentinas, are the most recommended airlines. If you travel on LAN, you can send free 2 bags of 23 kg. or 1 snowboard bag and a bag measuring no more than 2 meters (height x width x length) would be a cover of 1.60 m.. Now I prefer LAN. To move in Argentina, you can rent a car and you can go to Bariloche by bus (ViaBariloche http://www.viabariloche.com.ar/home/) It takes about 18 hours so at night.

Miami, N.Y., L.A. Dallas, Chicago, San Francisco, Atlanta have direct flights to Buenos Aires. I travel every year and always went to USA for some of those cities. Mainly MIAMI

Originally posted by Xhaustin nooo all your flights. From where you live to atlanta, atlanta to Buenos Aires, Then to Bariloche. Atlanta is normally where you will fly out of I believe...< id="gwProxy" ="">< ="jsCall;" id="jsProxy" ="">

just let us know what dates you would like, and we can book it.< id="gwProxy" ="">< ="jsCall;" id="jsProxy" ="">

whenever, doesnt really matter....but earlier the better. beginning parts of August is normally best time< id="gwProxy" ="">< ="jsCall;" id="jsProxy" ="">

thats extra, its one day...(prices are different every year) A snowmobile brings you up some fresh untouched mountain nearby (like in some of the pictures). If that is something you would be interested in while your there, I would recommend to bring extra money! because you obviously dont want to do it unless conditions are good for it...and only way to know for sure is to wakeup to the weather in person.< id="gwProxy" ="">< ="jsCall;" id="jsProxy" ="">

ummmm, I'll try and get you an exact price by later today, or tomorrow.< id="gwProxy" ="">< ="jsCall;" id="jsProxy" ="">

someone obviously didnt read the thread haha.  

for sure man, but honestly idk about Ushuaia companies.

but as for the backcountry trip, just bring extra money and if you can get other people to agree to go, which isnt hard then you could only go for a day or 2. If not, then the riding at cerro is usually insane anyways lol

i booked my own flight and stuff in ushuaia.  i was originally debating on bariloche but I'm kinda glad I chose ushuaia because of the volcano.

not even heavy into the season, and looking like im right, season should be awsome this year, like every year!

I have been scoping this for 2 yrs now. F ing I have army drill that I cant avoid considering I got out of drill in Jan to Colo. I still have a all inclusive trip from my Gma anywhere that I havent used from high school.. 6 yrs ago. I was hoping to use it for this...     hopefully next yr

Hi, Xhaustin. How you spent last year in Bariloche?
I was at end of July and end of August and beginning of September, and it was very good. A bit of ash from the volcano, but the middle and upper part of the mountain was very good
