Argentina Blog 2009

 We're back from Esquel and what a trip. We had the perfect learning park to our selves, Argentina freestyle legend Nicko giving us tips, blue skies and amazing views all round. Team PL were throwing down in the park with big 360's, spectacular spread eagles, grabs, rails and an electric atmosphere of encouragement throughout the group. Ivan cooked us an awesome traditional BBQ and it was a great way to seal the course ... good times, big moves and big smiles!

Our end of course party was always going to get messy ... fidget house dance music with disco lights in the hotel reception, break dancing, conga, speeches, and big thanks to all involved. We're off to Buenos Aires in the morning, many are heading out to explore South America some more, some are off to Uni, many have got job offers for the coming winter season, and I hope all have had the time of their lives.

One more amazing steak tonight ... then goodbyes are going to be emotional.

ROCK ON PEAK LEADERS ... PAAAARRRRRRRRTY!

 Well, the mountain didn't really know what had hit it ... 40 high speed skiers and riders in spectacular fancy dress flying around the place. Other people on the mountain wanted photos, some gave shout outs, others needed therapy! With a BBQ in the sun to top it off it was certainly an impressive display by the team and one the locals will remember for a while : /

Check out some of the presentable photos!

After some techo changes at PL HQ ... were back online! Team PL Argentina are now all successful BASI Level 1 instructors and we've been ripping it up in the mountain. With a massive dump of over 3m of snow in 4 days at the beginning of last week we had waist deep powder and epic days all round. Goggle marks are coming on strong after 4 days of bluebird skies and it's back into intensive training starting Monday. More updates soon, but in the meantime check out a selection of images from the last few weeks ...
