New ski trip for 2010- Skiing at the End of the World!




Skiing at the End of the World, The Island Of Tierra del Fuego, Ushuaia, Argentina
Dates:
4- 10 July 2010
9-15 August 2010
18-25 September 2010
End of the season date October 16- 21 2010
Custom trips available as well, email us @ info@andescross.com

The skiing in Ushuaia is amazing!
Ushuaia,Tierra del Fuego reminds some of Alaska. Both are extreme in latitude and steeps!
Meet the steeps at the Southern End of the World – Easy access to couloirs/chutes, glacier terrain, and beautiful mountain summits. The Andes of this area are rugged mountains that have a dramatic sharpness right into the ocean.
The Land of Fire is a paradise for ski mountaineering. The area also offers mellow bowls and options for all levels of ski experience. It is also possible to do multi-day trips in the backcountry, but the access from town is so friendly that it is more convenient to do daily trips. Enjoy downhill backcountry skiing and uphill ski mountaineering day by day, and return to a warm and cozy hotel every night during your vacation!

Skiing the Crater of Volcan Puyehue

In September 2009 we had the oportunity to co-work guiding and arranging logistics for the Rocky Mountain Sherpas film production company from Canada.
They brought the Athletes Mark Abma, Eric Hjorleifson and Chris Rubens to ski some steep lines into the crater of Volcan Puyehue...
You can watch this material in a Salomon Freeski TV show.

Also this material will be for Sherpas new project , All.I.CAN, what is about the global warming, carbon waste and how to affects all of us, so maybe helps to be more conscious about our enviroment!

Here a little taste of some of the results of this job...
