WHEN

We will explore the West Coast of Greenland by ski and use an expedition sailboat as moving basecamp. Each day we will take the boat to land and start climb a peak we have scouted by map and binoculars.

There are no avalanche bulletin for Greenland and no guidebooks. So we will have to make all assessments along the way. It will be a true ski expedition. We will hunt new first ski ascents and great snow, but most important we are in for a great Adventure.

All participants need to have done an Avalanche course and be familiar with skiing on glacisers. 

Its also required be in good shape to walk uphill and technical good to ski down in different snow off piste.
