I’m just back from another fine Haute Route with a lovely group of folks from Australia. We had perfect, sunny weather for our 8 days together. It’s been hot for 3 weeks, so the snow feels more like mid-May. It’s not smooth everywhere, rather cupped and structured from the intense sun. But it’s raining outside my window now in Verbier, at 1600 meters, so snowing high up, creating a clean slate for great adventures next week!

I’m off to Greenland, heading 400 kilometers north of Kangaamiut, to Qeqertarsuaq, another beautiful little village on the south end of Disco Island. The area is near one of the most popular tourist destinations, Ilulissat, known for the huge Sermeq Kujalleq Glacier, which is the source of most of the icebergs flowing down the Atlantic, finally melting at a latitude just north of New York. If you’re tempted to ski the best terrain in the world, come join me next year, April 29 – May 12, 2019.

My feet will be super stoked to be out of ski boots when I get back in mid-May. I’m organising a few sailing/climbing adventures in Sicily, Greece and other islands in the Med this summer, land based and aboard a chartered catamaran. If you’d like to join, learn to kitesurf and climb, while visiting everything these islands have to offer, please send me a note to create your own trip together.
