28th AUGUST 2015 – 14th SEPTEMBER 2015
WCS is celebrating its 24th year by taking an Adventure! We are proud to be visiting the 2015 INTERSKI congress in Ushuaia Argentina and supporting BASI (British Association of Snowsports Instructors) and associates whilst we are there.
The 16 day trip will be a whirlwind tour of Argentina and the sights it has to offer. A four centre adventure with at least 10 days skiing in different ‘once in a lifetime’ resorts.
The adventure begins on 28th August 2015 with a flight to Buenos Aires in South America! After an evening enjoying the delights of Argentine cuisine and the Tango we depart on our journey…
View over Bariloche and the lake Nahuel Huapi.
Bariloche where we will spend 4 + days skiing at the Cerro Catedral area with its fantastic views and exciting terrain. Whilst staying in Bariloche, with its bustling town centre by the lake, you can take in the excitement of the city. Eating out will be great, there are many places to choose from. It also wouldn’t be complete without a visit to one of National Geographic voted ‘Best Views in the World’.
To ensure we gain the most from our South American visit we will be visiting a real Estancia, the Estancia Huechahue, where Jane Williams will welcome us for a few days of sampling the Real Argentina and its fantastic Patagonian vistas. Here you can relax, walk, or horse ride and take in the atmosphere. After all, you are surrounded by 15,000 beautiful acres! Jane farms this vast expanse with the help of a team of Gauchos who ride the steppe shepherding the cattle and sheep in this huge area. The Estancia is self-sufficient and is pretty isolated; great for star gazing at night!
During our stay we hope to have a mystery 2 day ski tour, perhaps over the border to Chile? Details will be confirmed as soon as we know more.

Isolated Comfort…
The real thing. Horse riding in Patagonia
We then return to Bariloche airport to take a flight to the southernmost city in the world, USHUAIA! Here we have five days of skiing this amazing area and viewing the impressive INTERSKI congress with the worlds skiing nations demonstrating some dynamic presentations and holding various workshops. This is truly a one off experience, especially in this amazing location.
And last, but certainly not least, Ushuaia. Here is somewhere truly different – the harbour, penguins, boat trips, and a mountain with the world’s best ski nations attending and performing at a magnificent event. Only one question remains – what are you waiting for?!
The southernmost city in the world…Ushuaia
See the BASI team in action…
Syncro Precision…
Evenings to remember…
There is so much to see and do in Argentina and somehow 16 days just does not feel like enough! An Argentinean steak meal for example will be a steak you will never forget, by far the best there is.
