I’ve been snowboarding over 2/3 of my life. My love of travel has led me to snowboard and experience many different regions of the world that has mountains and snow. Some of my favorite places include Alaska, most of British Columbia Canada, Russia, Austria and especially South America. That’s why I have jumped to the opportunity to help show others some of my favorite places.

Argentina and Chile have great mountains and snow conditions when up north in Canada or the USA its summertime. For the powder hungry person The Andes are always a great place to continue the endless winter. That’s why I’ve joined up with PowderQuest who’ve been doing these type of adventures for many years. Whenever I’ve been there recently I always hook up with them because we have a great trip. We’ve stayed at great places, eaten great meals and above all had great powder in the infamous Andes.

Let’s hope this year is no different!!

See you soon,

Shin Campos

Snowboard Argentina Tour

"When you are going to unknown zones for the first time, usually you have to put in a lot of time to find the goods. Shin and David, will lead ya to the goods, and quick! Last summer, when I came with NIKE for a photo shoot to South America, we had a short window, and needed to find good snow and zones to pull an epic shoot off. All i can say is, these guys have their shit dialed!"
