Testimonials
“My son Martín H.‘s snowboard lessons over the past 2–3 seasons have been a truly outstanding experience. From the very beginning, coach Eduardo Batarce demonstrated a level of professionalism, patience, and commitment that made a clear difference in Martín’s progress.
The most remarkable part has been his steady development: he started from the very basics, and today he rides with confidence, control, and composure in a variety of snow conditions. Eduardo focused not only on technique, but also on building motivation, discipline, and a genuine passion for the sport, making every lesson both enjoyable and challenging.
What also stood out was his ability to adapt to Martín’s pace of learning. He was always attentive to correcting details, reinforcing what had been learned, and encouraging him to push a little further when the time was right—without ever losing sight of safety.
In summary, these have been incredibly valuable seasons, with clear progress and an entirely positive experience. Choosing Edu as Martín’s coach was, without a doubt, an excellent decision.”

“Training in snowboarding has been much more than learning a sport; it has been a journey of deep connection with myself and with the mountain. From the very beginning, being on the snow, feeling the cold, the silence, and the vastness of the surroundings made me realize that the mountain is not just a place where you practice a sport, but a living environment that deserves respect and awareness.
Throughout this journey, I’ve learned to observe, to listen, and to adapt. Every run is more than technique—it is also an emotional experience: there is fear, freedom, focus, and a constant sense of learning. The mountain demands presence, humility, and balance, both physically and mentally.
Along the way, the guidance of Eduardo Batarce, “Waro,” has been fundamental. More than a coach and instructor, he has shared a way of understanding the mountain through respect and responsibility. He taught us that it’s not only about performing or improving, but about being aware of where we are, how we move, and the impact we have—both on and off the mountain.
Thanks to those lessons, I now understand that snowboarding doesn’t end when you take off your board. It’s a way of connecting with nature, caring for it, and carrying that awareness into everyday life. The mountain transforms you, and part of that transformation comes from learning to appreciate what truly matters, respect the natural rhythm of things, and live in greater harmony with the environment.
Without a doubt, snowboarding has been one of the most meaningful experiences in my personal growth, because it has allowed me to develop not only as an athlete, but also as a person.”
