Trip Report: Cerro Godoy Central Couloir | Ushuaia, Tierra Del Fuego, Patagonia, Argentina

Report from October 22, 2025 I arrived in Ushuaia, Argentina, via an 11-hour bus ride from Punta Arenas, Chile, 2 days ago. The previous day, we’d done the 9-hour “bog slog” to ski Monte Tarn. I did a 24-hour fast on the bus and that was a horrible idea… 3,895′ Cerro Godoy Ushuaia Tierra Del Fuego Argentina, Patagonia Summit:  3,895 […]

Report from 11/18/22 After getting back from ski guiding in Antarctica on November 15, 2022, we weren’t sure what to do with the 11-days before our next Antarctica ski trip… As we glided through the Beagle Channel on our way back to Ushuaia, I came up with a plan in the first sunshine in a while on the back deck […]

Tierra del Fuego Conditions Report: Powder Day at the End of the World Yesterday

Hanging glacier viewed from the top.

Tierra del Fuego is the southernmost provence of Argentina. There is only once civilized location here: Ushuaia. This is where boats to and from Antarctica and beyond moor for resupply and passenger exchange. I just returned to Ushuaia on Monday after an incredible, once in a lifetime trip to ski Antarctica with Ice Axe Expeditions. Yesterday, I got a chance to ski here in the Tierra […]

We’re Off To Ski Antarctica Today:

We’re loading up on the 330-foot Sea Adventurer in Ushuaia, Argentina (the furthest south city on Earth) this afternoon. We’re heading to Antarctica. It’ll take two days in the boat to cross the infamous Drake Passage and arrive at the Antarctic Peninsula. Once there, we’ll be climbing and skiing for 6 days before returning home. We’ve skied the past 5 days here in Ushuaia and I’ve been blown away. Easy access and great terrain make the backcountry here shine. This will be the trip of a lifetime and my 4 clients are […]

Tierra Del Fuego, Argentina Conditions Report: Jagged Peaks and Frothing Ocean

Chilean Peaks from Ushuaia, Argentina.

This is my first ever trip to the far south of South America. I’ve been blown away. I’ve been in Ushuaia, Argentina in Tierra del Fuego for a week now and the scenery is intense. The winds can be even more intense. We’ve witnessed the Beagle Channel as smooth as glass as well as frothing like rapid dog. This place is truly a land where the phrase – if you don’t like the weather, wait 5 minutes – truly applies. We’ve been skiing all week here in the Martial Glacier zone just outside of town. The Martial Glacier has big rolly polly terrain, chutes, steeps, cliffs, jagged peaks, and […]
