Tierra Del Fuego, Argentina Report: A World Class 40º Steep, 1000-Vertical-Foot Chute in Moody Weather

Report from November 27, 2022 Yesterday was our last ski day in South America for the season. Crazy that we’ve been here so much this year… We did eight weeks in August and September in Bariloche. Now, we’ve just completed another 15 days down here split between Ushuaia, Argentina, Torres Del Paine, Chile, & El Chalten, Argentina. It’s been unreal […]

Report from November 25, 2022 Yesterday, I got my rope team up on the Martial Glacier in Ushuaia, Argentina for glacier travel practice and some great skiing.

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 […]
