TUNE IN AT 10:00am MST TODAY FOR THE CLUESDAY CLUE-OF-THE-WEEK TO WIN A FREE PAIR OF K2 SKIS!

In 2003, I had the good fortune of getting invited along for a trip to the Antarctic Peninsula to try and ski the Bull Ridge on Mt. Francis on Anvers Island.  We didn\’t make it very far due to extended bad weather, but it was still one of my all time favorite trips in terms of adventure, scenery and wildlife.  My partner for the trip was Doug Stoup, aka \”Mr. Antarctica\” who is putting together an entire cruise ship to return to the peninsula this Oct/Nov for a two week ski mountaineering trip.  I\’ll be going along and there are a few more berths available.  Check out SkiCruise2008.com for more info.

    Yeah! It will be fun. Maybe we can water ski behind the ship while crossing the Drake just for added sport value.
