trip
It has been over two years now since Nathan and I returned from our South Pacific trip. Now we are ready and rarin' for another far-flung adventure.
I had the brilliant idea recently for our next trip:
- Ski the World!
- This would include: Hokkaido, Japan,
- Siberia?
- Australia/New Zealand
- South America
- Europe and more.
- Can you ski the Himalayas?
There are other ideas for this trip as well:
Ski Europe - including:
- cross-country ski Finland
- backcountry ski the Pyrenees
- ski Eastern Europe
- make a pilgrimage to Telemark, Norway
- eat lots and lots of fondue in the Alps
Ski South America - Argentina, Chile, etc. And finally become conversant in Spanish at the same time.
Ski every continent -Africa and Antarctica would be the biggest challenges.
Ski Canada - it is a foreign country after all.
Money is not the only obstacle - we'll be needing to improve our skiing skills by a lot and pick up some serious backcountry skills like avalanche safety courses and all that. But this trip is at least a year and a half off, probably 2 years. So we have some time to prepare. And save...
