THE JOURNEY
12
month – 35 countries – more than 70 ski areas!!!
Skiers
are dreamers. Whether the dream is to do heli skiing in the shadow of
Everest in Nepal, swoop down some nameless glacier in Greenland, or
to be one of the rare visitors to ski the remote areas of India, your
own personal skier’s odyssey only comes to a close when you cease
to dream and make things happen.
We
are three Swedish free ride skiers living in Chamonix ( France), who
are about to live our long time dream – Ski all continents of the
world during 12 consecutive months. Our journey will during the
period of May 2007 to April 2008 take us around the globe to 35
countries and more than 70 ski areas.
The
journey is very much about skiing as a lifestyle and exploring new
terrain around the world. It’s also about three individuals meeting
people of different culture and as well experience unique items in
the different countries along the journey – items such as:
sea
kayaking in Greenland
dog
sledging in Greenland
horse
riding and hot springs in Iceland
tiger
safari in India
steep
downhill mountain bike in Bolivia
explore
Machu Picchu in Peru
explore
Central America
snorkeling
in the Galapagos Islands
Awesome
foursome in New Zealand
etc.
Our
focus is free ride skiing and we intend to take the skiing beyond
traditional ski lifts in to the back country in
all the places we’ll visit. It’ll be a quick pace around the
world with stops of 2-5 days in each place.
The
intention is to make a documentary movie (DVD) about the entire
journey – covering skiing, travel, people, experiences, etc. Our
intent is to also equip ourselves with individual camcorders and to
have each of us three to film a personal diary covering our personal
thoughts, experiences and emotions as a part of the documentary. |
