Wrapping up some amazing Svalbard trips this past week and setting sail on our final trip of the spring tomorrow. ❄️⛷️⛵️
It’s been an incredible season here in Svalbard, filled with powder skiing with friends, unforgettable wildlife sightings, and fun days sailing through the Arctic seas.
We’re excited to welcome you back next year, with our 2027 trip dates now live on our website and booking open! ✨
Have you booked your spot for our upcoming Sing & Sourdough Week at Burnie Glacier Chalet this summer? 🎶🥖Along with so many exciting trips happening at Burnie this season, this week will be a summer highlight you won’t want to miss ☀️🏔️
We are hosting a fantastic fusion of two talented characters - Central BC’s Juno award winning Pharis Romero offering singing/voice workshops paired with the uber talented Shannon O’Donovan demonstrating and engaging us in the basics of all things sourdough. Croissants! Scones!
Expect mountain adventures, delicious baking, and low-stress, joy-filled music sessions in the alpine. If you love tasty things and making music, this is one to add to your summer calendar ✨
Some highlights from our recent Svalbard Ski & Sail trips as we are halfway through our spring backcountry ski trips in Spitsbergen under the midnight sun. ☀️⛷
Thanks @ruth_wolfe_ for taking so many great photos for us to share! 🐻❄️
Do you like singing, sourdough bread, alpine hiking and a small group of rad people?
Save the date Sept 1 -5 for a very unique and fun (and small!) camp in a backcountry alpine chalet just a short floatplane trip from Smithers, BC.
@shannonodonovanmusic will teach the fine art of sourdough and Pharis will be teaching singing, with @sawbackalpine adventures hosting and hiking.
More info coming very soon!

Ruth I'm a lucky papa to have had you as my traveling buddy on countless adventures over the years. Especially the last six months climbing, working, hiking and skiing.
You turned 19 today here in Svalbard! May the 4th be with you Ruth. This is a big year with big decisions and I look forward to seeing what comes of it. Next stop, the big 2-0 😘
I'm very proud of you birthday girl and look forward to another year of adventures with you.
A day in the life of our Sail and Ski operation with @sawbackalpine last week!
We don’t just sail.
We make their ski program work, smoothly, safely, and in the most remote places on earth.

Some good times spent on the Wapta, Bow Yoho Traverse, and Freshfields this spring. Long days, pow turns, and the chance to travel and ski through this incredible and wild alpine terrain.
