The Mission of Summer on the Snow goes beyond
providing the opportunity for pristine skiing and
snowboarding in June, July or August.
We strive for participants in our program to
become culturally and linguistically acclimated to
Argentina and/or Chile by taking Spanish
classes, staying with a local family, and getting to
know the local culture while simultaneously
enjoying the best skiing that South America has
to offer.
