Buenos Dias! Peak Leaders in Argentina offer more qualifications, certifications and included extras than ANY other instructor course. We've successfully run courses in Bariloche for 9 years - nobody knows the area better than us!
This is one of our favourites and with good reason. Your Argentina course offers a unique opportunity in August and September to become a BASI (British Association of Snowsport Instructors) ski or snowboard instructor in the spectacular Andes of South America. You'll be amongst some of the nicest people on the planet and thanks to coaching from Argentina's and BASI's finest instructors and examiners, your technique and all-mountain skills will dramatically improve. The training is high tempo and applicants should be strong intermediate skiers or riders (or better) before applying. After gaining the qualifications on offer in South America, you are ready to apply with confidence for employment in North America or Europe. As well as the sense of adventure of being in the high Andes of Patagonia, you'll also experience plenty of South American culture.


"The Peak Leaders Argentina course offers two unmissable experiences in one: a visit to the lake district of Patagonia - one of the most beautiful places on earth - and off course the opportunity to do a winterseason.
In 2009 I was fortunate enough to assess the Peak Leaders students in Cerre Cathedral, Barilotche. The resort is the best of the South American resorts and has a large number of pistes as well as easily accessible and enjoyable off piste. Peak Leaders team up with the Barilotche Alpine Club to provide training prior to the BASI course, some of the most professional people I met while traveling in South America. This combination of challenging terrain and quality coaching prepares the students well for the technical part of the BASI course.
If you are considering a gap course, and perhaps want something a little different from what the european resorts have to offer, I would highly recommend Argentina. Who knows, you may even learn another language!"

Wow! What an experience Peak Leaders has given us all in the past 2 months. This course has changed my life; before I did not know what to do career wise and the time away in Argentina has shown me my passion more than anything...That I definitely want a life in the snow...
