Catedral, Argentina, August 30, 2009 - SKier and boarders visiting South America's largest ski area

Skiers and boarders visiting South America’s largest ski area this winter, Catedral near Bartiloche in Argentina, have enjoyed a number of improvements for winter 2009, particularly hands-free lift ticketing and online booking.

On the slopes, the resort’s terrain park has had an overhaul with new jumps, big air and numerous obstacles installed.

The Terrain Park now offers a sector for beginners, with a small jump and two rails.  A second sector for intermediates has a larger jump and rail and the advanced park has a 4 metre table top, an 8 metre long S rail and many other features including more rail and jumps.

Special events including the Rip Curl Winter Search, the Only Girls and the Gorilla Day are being staged in the park through this winter.
