Red Bull just hosted a freeskiing competition in the middle of nowhere: Baguales, Argentina. It’s 50km south of Bariloche and almost no one has ever heard of it let alone actually been there.
Baguales is a brand new cat skiing operation in Patagonia with 5 star accommodations and 5 star terrain.
Unfortunately this competition happened just before the 100 inch storm the region just got, but the boys made the best of it. This video doesn’t tell us who won, but it’s certainly fun to watch.
Beyond the Line follows the new freeskiing competition style where large jumps are built on the mountain so that skiers can show off their park skills along side their big mountain style.
Conditions at the were springlike and it hadn’t snowed in about a month, but the boys throw down nonetheless.
Special thanks to Manu Uranga for putting this comp together. Argentina has many strong freeriders and they deserve more high profile competitions like this to showcase their skills.
Holy meat huck!
any idea how to get in touch with the guys for cat skiing at Baguales?
yes, http://www.facebook.com/Baguales.Patagonia/info & http://baguales-patagonia.com.ar/en/. Would be sick here on a good day. If you call the number via skype, it won’t be too expensive.
Looks pretty bad. Too bad it wasn’t later.
Tricks were solid
