Doug Workman sniffing out the powder stash.

On November 4th 2014, Mammut ambassadors Doug Workman and Todd Offenbacher set sail on the Sea Adventurer chartered by Doug Stoup’s Ice Axe Expeditions (http://www.iceaxe.tv) . This is the fourth trip by Ice Axe to take a group of skiers to the Antarctica Peninsula for ski mountaineering. Workman and Offenbacher guide clients on the wildest ski adventure in the world. “It’s like skiing on the moon but with better snow,” says Offenbacher.

 It was a long, hot, and dry summer here in Idaho. Massive wildfires raged on during portions of August with little to no rain most of the month. Temperatures remained above average for July and August. Meanwhile, we did our best to chase the shade and climb. As September arrived, Heather and I concluded our new routing efforts at various local crags.
