With plenty of summer weather prevailing across the Northeast lately, and with plenty of ocean time under our belts lately, we’ve been thinking about the great times we’ve had skiing to the beach over the years. It’s not something we get to do very often, but it’s something we hope to do a lot more [...]
With our skiing options rather limited in the northeast, we headed north on June 20th a few years back to research a story about Iceland’s emerging backcountry skiing industry and explore a range of wild mountains towering over the Greenland Sea. Close to midnight on June 21, we shouldered our packs and set off into [...]
“Hey, it’s pretty thin, but I think there’s a little snow over this way…” -Brian Follow this LINK to “Like” AdventureSkier.com on Facebook. Thanks!
It’s that time of year again when the snow is all but gone here in the northeast US/Canada, and memories of past spring skiing adventures in some far off places have us day dreaming. Here’s an image Emily captured at midnight on May 30th a few years back…on the far reaches of Iceland’s wild West [...]
It was just a year ago this week that we and our friends Forrest Twombly and Tom Hite set off on an bicycle-powered skiing adventure through the coastal mountains of Arctic Norway. And while flowers bloom and our rivers flow with rain and snowmelt here in the northeast, the experience is fresh on our minds. [...]
Our Vermont friends Pennie Rand and Poppy Gall have organized two backcountry skiing adventures in Iceland this April. One trip (which is full) is an all-ladies trip, while a second trip (co-ed / April 22-29) still has a few spots remaining. If you are feeling rather spontaneous and would like to treat yourself to the [...]
Here’s another example of what some of us northeastern skiers are known to do in June – when the snow is gone, but our skiing stoke is not. This is another image from East Greenland’s Schweizerland Alps, captured on a remote island that is part of an Arctic archipelago anchoring the southern end of these [...]
Even in the Northeast, there is usually some natural snow to ski on in the month of June, especially on Quebec’s Gaspe…and points north. For best results here in the northeast U.S., start walking toward the sheltered, higher elevations of Maine’s Katahdin or New Hampshire’s White Mountains…keep walking…and you might find a worthwhile strip of [...]
Don’t miss our next slideshow, Off Piste in Iceland, coming up on Thursday, April 1 at the legendary Inn at Long Trail along Rt. 4 near Killington, VT. Owners Murray and Patty McGrath have hosted a few of our shows in the past, and we are excited to be back there once again this season. [...]
