Greenland Again

Posted on | April 30, 2010 | 2 Comments

We are back in  Maniitsoq, Greenland again to heliski. It has so far turned out to be some of the best, classic, corn snow conditions ever. Yesterday was just so wonderful and my 4 clients seem to be quite blown away by the quality of every run. They are a group of 4 men that are acting just as childish as myself, laughing and giggling with each new run. Landing at 1500 meters, roping over a cornice, then skiing 45 degrees of deep corn, turning left after the flats into another steep couloir and riding that down to the lower flats, then over another drop to a long glacier to the heli sitting on the beach… It really is too much. I so wish all my friends and clients I skied with this past season could be here now to experience this wonderful playground.

Getting a good angle to take fine pictures has been tough. But here area few of the ones I have taken so far.

    Thanks Jim. I was tough to get in the right spot at the right time this trip. I feel very lucky to have gotten Greenland again in such perfect conditions. Theses clients have really appreciated the good snow and excellent views. One of them only started skiing in October and skied well over 45 degrees on some of the runs!!!
