Argentina was a blast! Getting there was a breeze

and the open community feel of the lodge was

awesome. Everyone I met on the trip was great so

the fun didn’t stop once you got off the mountain.

I have met up with a few of the guys I met on

the trip not to long after I got back state side.

An overall great experience put on by SGT, I have

recommend to more than a few friends!

- Antonio Bifulco

It was one hell of an opportunity and a life

changing experience. I can’t wait ‘til next year!

- Kara Field

Argentina was siiiiiiiiick! Did you get all that? Nine

“i”s. Fun snow, old friends, new friends, and dulce

de leche everyday. What more could a girl ask for?

- Sandra V. Hatcher
