What is SASS you may ask?  Well it stands for South America Snow Sessions, which is about to kick off its monumental second season in Las Lenas, Argentina.  To give you an idea of how incredibly awesome Las Lenas truly is, check out these mountain stats.  Number of Lifts: 12, Base Elevation: 7,349 feet, Peak Elevation: 11,253 feet, Annual Snowfall: 393 inches, Total Vertical: 3,904 feet.  In case you didn&amp;#8217;t already know, SASS brings its campers straight to the heart of winter, during the North American summer.  This camp in Argentina gives all visitors the opportunity to ride real winter conditions AND gain the cultural experience of a lifetime.\\n&lt;p&gt;Last season at SASS was highlighted with many cool guest appearances. Alterna Action Films came for two weeks in July with JF Fortin, Matt Beardmore and Travis Williams. In the middle of August Mark Frank Montoya visited us and was actually more stoked about Spanish classes then some of the campers (yeah, we gave him homework!). The Airblaster crew (Travis Parker, Robbie Sell, Sean McKay, Jake Welch, Jed Anderson, etc\\u2026) showed up in the end of August just in time to catch some POW and rip the mountain in two pieces. During the super late September session Pat Milbery was on a daily mission to slay everything, while we introduced him to some of the finer aspects of Argentine culture.\\n&lt;p&gt;This years&amp;#8217; program will feature hits from last summer such as:\\n&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8211;\\tBuild Your Own Backcountry Jump&lt;br \\/&gt;&amp;#8211;\\tRide Lots Of Powder&lt;br \\/&gt;&amp;#8211;\\tSession A Park Filled With Rails And Boxes\\n&lt;p&gt;New For This Year:\\n&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8211;\\tLearn How To Shred Huge Mountains&lt;br \\/&gt;&amp;#8211;\\tIntro To Avalanche Safety  &lt;br \\/&gt;&amp;#8211;\\tIn Addition SASS Will Be Hosting An Adult Camp\\n&lt;p&gt;Apart from the mountain activities, off hill events such as Water Polo, Empanada Eating contests, Ping Pong, Fuse Ball, Spanish Class with Diego and Internet Lounge Time make SASS so jam packed with excitement you might need to bring a friend along to soak it up!\\n&lt;p&gt;Prices begin at $2600 for a fourteen-day session.  That&amp;#8217;s $1300 a week and it includes all your food, lodging, lift tickets, travel in Argentina, coaching, video, shirt, activities and Spanish classes.  Compare that to the other snowboard camps here in North America where you will just shred spring conditions and there is no comparison.\\n&lt;p&gt;If you would like to get more info about the Adult Camp or our regular snowboard\\/ski programs please visit our web site www.sasnowsessions.com or call us at 203.458.1632.
