Traversing the globe with Kaitlyn Farrington
Winter doesn’t end for professional snowboarder Kaitlyn Farrington. Her passions lie in the perpetual chase of perfect alpine storms to ride. And as the summer season lingers in the Northern Hemisphere, one must get creative with locales in order to ride, and trust us, these aren’t close to home.
Kaitlyn’s lifelong prowess in backcountry ski exploration and keen intellect on tracking and navigating these storm systems attracts the attention of passionate snowboarders around the globe as she offers guided tours with SASS Global Travel.
Recently, Kaitlyn saw a storm system headed to the Andes Mountains in South America, and it was nothing short of a dream.
”I can't express how much I love going back to Argentina!” Kaitlin exclaims. “It truly feels like going to visit my extended family. This time, luck was on my side as the storm decided to join me as soon as I arrived. And let me tell you, it was an absolute pleasure! For two incredible weeks, I had the time of my life riding and hanging out with both old and new friends. It's always a gamble when it comes to weather conditions, but this year turned out to be amazing.
One of the things that makes this trip so special is the opportunity to work and travel in Argentina every year. It's truly a treat to be able to combine my passion for snowboarding with exploring this beautiful country. From the stunning landscapes to the vibrant culture, there's never a dull moment, sharing incredible memories that will last a lifetime. Whether it's bonding with fellow riders over Asodo dinners, conquering challenging slopes, or simply soaking in the breathtaking views, there's something magical about this place.
But it's not just the destination that makes this trip unforgettable. It's the people. The team at @sassglobaltravel go above and beyond to ensure that every moment is filled with joy and adventure. They have become my second family.
As I reminisce about this trip, I can't help but smile. It was a whirlwind of excitement, laughter, and unforgettable experiences. I'm already counting down the days until I can return. If you ever get the chance, I highly recommend visiting Argentina and experiencing the magic for yourself. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!
Until then, I'll be cherishing these memories over a Costa cocktail and eagerly awaiting my next adventure with SASS.” - Kaitlyn Farrington
