Sailing and Skiing in Svalbard: Everything You Need to Know
Picture yourself carving through a blend of fresh Arctic powder and perfect spring corn on a thrilling summit-to-sea run you’ve just discovered. Meanwhile, a gourmet multi-course meal is being served on a luxurious 150-foot yacht under the glow of the midnight sun.
Tom Wolfe’s backcountry ski trip in Svalbard is a sight to behold.
Starting from Longyearbyen, the northernmost permanent settlement on Earth, Tom leads his clients island-hopping in search of the ultimate skiing. Whether it’s gentle slopes, expansive open bowls, steep ridgelines, or challenging 50-degree chutes, the skiing options are as endless as the Arctic Sea. And the adventure doesn’t stop once the skis are off—between runs, you’ll cruise on a lavish schooner, savor dishes crafted by a private chef, and maybe even encounter a polar bear.
