      An adventure not to miss: Ski Touring in Svalbard

      Want to know what it’s like to ski at the edge of the world? Join this free one-hour webinar hosted by our partners at 57hours and hear from an AMGA/IFMGA guide who leads sailing and skiing expeditions in the fantastic fjords of Svalbard, Norway.

      Click here for all the details and to learn more.

      57 hours

      Rob will cover:

      • Photo and video highlights of his epic journey in Svalbard
      • The sailboat Rembrandt, and why it’s your biggest asset
      • What skiing the celebrated Arctic powder feels like
      • The gear, logistics, and preparations for a Svalbard ski trip
      • The benefits of exploring Svalbard with a guide
      • Fun activities in Longyearbyen, the northernmost settlement in the world


      Imagine shredding perfect, untouched pow at the very edge of the Arctic Circle. At the same time, a multi-course dinner is laid out for you on a 150-foot yacht under the midnight sun. It’s easy to see why guide Rob Coppolillo loves his day job.

      Starting from Longyearbyen, the world’s northernmost permanently inhabited settlement, Rob takes his passengers island-hopping to scour for untracked summits and the freshest spring corn. Off the slopes, they’re gliding between fjords on a luxurious schooner, enjoying delicacies prepared by a private chef, and meeting the occasional polar bear.

      After a two-year layover, Rob is finally back for another Svalbard tour—with the 2022 dates sold out in a heartbeat!

      If you want to know what makes this icy kingdom one of the world’s hottest skiing destinations, tune in and find out from the legend himself!
