Greenland Again
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 [...]
Greenland Heliskiing 2009
I am back from the tiny village of Kangaamiut, Greenland, just north of Maniitsoq. It was colder than I have seen it in the 9 years I have been visiting, which made for really fine skiing conditions. We had soft powder on the North aspects and nice, squishy corn on the South. The trip was [...]
Seasons Change
That’s it! The snow around my house melted last week, the southern slopes have avalanched and melted away, leaving supreme skiing at altitude. We were hoping to get on a few fine steep descents, but the weather has not cooperated completely. The Foehn here is blowing hard up high, and the south side has seen [...]
Spring in the Alps
At last, we have touched the first spring snow of the season. Temperatures were quite high these past few days. The snow on northern aspects is moist from 2200 meters down. There is a solid crust from 2800 meters down on which to ski supreme corn snow. I just returned from another very memorable safari, [...]
The snowiest winter on record
This winter just does not want to stop. Another 40cm fell yesterday, adding to the 2 meter base around my chalet. The skiing has been phenomenal. Each day has provided us with so much fun, and it just keeps going. One needs not think too much before heading out the door, which seems tough to [...]
Greenland Heliskiing
I have returned again to Greenland and realize, this time through the eyes of my clients, what wonders these Fjords have to offer. From the whale sightings they did today in the Fjord of Kangaamiut, to the steep skiing of the past 2 blue bird days, Kangaamiut Greenland is such a wonderfull place to come [...]
Heliskiing/Alpine Climb
And so it did: It snowed again, but 40cm+ outside my chalet this time. From 7AM to midnight, we had a good little winter storm- to welcome in the first day of Spring! We skied in Bruson, where the visibility of the woods helped us navigate the fresh powder. Winter is indeed upon us. Yesterday [...]
February’s Spring Weather- March’s WIntery Start
It has been absolutely gorgeous this whole past month of February. The corn snow of early February evolved from early winter, SE only aspects, to full-on, Spring-Time corn during the last 2 weeks of Feb. We skied real long runs into this lovely Val du Bagnes, off the Trient Glacier, and several trips onto Italian [...]
Greenland 2007
4 out of 6 blue-bird days provided us with enough vertical to last until next year.
