Patagonia is the end of the world. A mystical place of raw and almost unbearable beauty where the earth seems to melt into the sky like dripstone. One step too far and you'll fall off the edge of the world into the eternal abyss. Freedom is not just an empty phrase but a promise made by the endless horizon. The stars are so near that you're tempted to reach for them.

Our homie Juan Pablo Bucchioni spends his winters in the dreamscape of Patagonia with his crew La Resistencia. The vibe down South is like legend says it was 20 years ago in our latitudes. You snowboard as hard as you can? You're part of the crew. You won't be labeled a park rat or a yeti, you're just a snowboarder. All part of the tribe. Mahalo. The gods of the mountains will be your only judges.

The vast and untouched terrain makes for a great playground to set up jumps in the pow or build rails on a slow day. No one is holding you back and you'll just do what feels right for the day.

Now that summer starts to take over in Argentina, Juanpi supplied us with a selection of pics to recap his season down South. Be warned:scrolling down may cause painful longing for an adventure in the rugged paradise of Patagonia.

Here is a little video recap from La Resistencia too:
