After Dark

The earth turns and the sun disappears over the horizon. Flip the switch, and the lights go out.

Experience it for yourself – our dream, our vision of skiing. After Dark.

Guilt Trip

The only thing greater that this group of skier's desire to claim a first ski descent on Greenland's second highest peak is the size of their carbon footprint to get there.

However, the entire expedition is put in question when they arrive in Greenland and discover their objective is beyond the range of all available aircraft.

Fade to Winter

Times change, just as each season gives way to the next. For passionate skiers around the globe, however, the time of year can never undermine the enthusiasm for their next great day on snow.
