About us

Locals, not a school.

We’re three lifelong friends, born and raised in Bariloche. We don’t teach from a script: we take you up the mountain the way you’d show it to a friend, with safety first and knowing where to look for the best snow each day.

I’ve spent more than ten years chasing winter between the two hemispheres, and every season in Argentina, Switzerland, Spain or Japan taught me something new about the mountain and about myself. I’m a Level 3 AADIDESS instructor and a UIMLA/AAGM mountain guide, but what I enjoy most is the moment a student lets go and starts to flow with the snow. I like to teach by reading each person and what the snow is doing that day, always with safety first. For me, snowboarding is the best excuse there is to really get to know the mountain and share it.

I’ve been teaching snowboarding for more than 16 seasons at resorts like Cerro Catedral and Baqueira Beret. What I want is for every student to progress safely, make good use of their time, and enjoy every run. I adapt each lesson to your level and your goals, from people getting on a board for the first time to snowboarders polishing their technique. I teach with patience and keep it practical, so you build confidence and your time on the mountain pays off.

I’ve spent over 10 years on the mountain, and I really enjoy what I do and everything snowboarding has given me. Teaching taught me that each person has their own rhythm and their own style. My thing is going along with that: helping each one find their own way down the mountain. Few things mix the physical side with being out in nature the way snowboarding does, and it leaves you with experiences that go way beyond learning a technique.

"The best snowboard instructor in the world: after just 3 sessions I ended up at intermediate level. Bruno is the best, don’t hesitate to get in touch for your snowboard sessions. Video and photo session included, and the best price on the market in Bariloche and Japan."

"I really have to thank Mati for the snowboard lessons! Mati truly knows how to teach, above all thanks to that patience: every day you get more of a feel for the board, until you can ride down on your own. A genius of a teacher! Thanks, champ!"

FAQ

What people ask us most.

We recommend thermal layers, a waterproof jacket, gloves and goggles. If you don’t have a board and boots, you can rent them at the resort — message us on WhatsApp and we’ll point you in the right direction.

Depends what you’re after: July and August usually have the most snow, September brings better light and spring snow. Tell us your plan and we’ll tell you when to come.

We sort out day, time and type of lesson over WhatsApp. Payment gets confirmed once we’ve agreed on the date.

You should be comfortable linking turns and controlling your speed on groomed runs. If you’re not sure about your level, tell us what you’ve done and we’ll tell you which lesson fits.

We reschedule at no charge depending on availability, or we adjust the day’s plan to the actual conditions on the mountain.

No, the lift pass is bought separately at the resort. Either way, we’ll give you a hand with it so you don’t waste time.
