Great mountain, great housing

I was on the course in 2015 in bariloche, qualifying to basi level 2 skiing. We stayed in a friendly hotel in a stunning location by the lake. We had the hotel to ourselves which was amazing.. The first 4 weeks we were coached by argentine instructors to give the base technique. The coaches were very popular with the group but once the basi trainers took over after week 4 we were told to change much of the technique they had taught us. With regards to value, the food and drink here is very cheap with the best steak and red wine in the world, but it should be made clear that activities like cat skiing are an extra that costs additional money. The staff help in the job application process, giving contacts and references. The truth is that for terrain, bariloche doesn't quite match europe, but there are some great slopes and you'll be hard pressed to find a more interesting place to stay for 2 months. As a side note, if you are looking to party all the time, this is not for you, we found it difficult to find any clubs willing to let us in without paying the equivalent of £30. As an experience though, with the awesome weekly asados (bbq with great steak), argentina peak leaders is incredible.
