Category: Yacht Australis 2010

Kip Garre's Article Featured in Powder Magazine

December 14, 2010

Thousands of curious gentoo penguins waddle about awkwardly at Port Lockroy, a British base on the southern end of Weincke Island, Antarctica. Once they hop into the sea they loose their awkwardness and porpoise through the water. The seals are similar. Their clumsiness on shore is lost when they slide into the sea and get … Continued

Australis Ice Axe Ski Cruise

December 3, 2010

We have just pulled into Porto Williams after several days of heavy seas and a quick stop at Cabo de Hornos (Cape Horn). The idea started while having beers in Ushuaia during the Ice Axe ill-fated 2008 ski cruise. Chris Davenport and I were discussing our dream trip to Antarctica and which yachts and captains … Continued

Skiing Through the Clouds

November 27, 2010

Awesome day in the Antarctic Peninsula. Skied 1700m and 2 summits (Mt. Rojas on Lamaire Island). Beautiful ski with incredible snow all the way to the water, and Mt. Noble on Wienke Island. We were skiing down through low clouds and could hear Minke Whales spouting in the Neumeyer Channel. Finished at 10pm with a … Continued

Anvord Bay and Neko Harbor

November 27, 2010

Had a wonderful day in Anvord Bay and more specifically Neko Harbour. We landed at a Gentoo Penguin rookery and the adult penguins are just now starting to breed with no sign of any eggs as of yet due to the large amount of snow in the Peninsula this season. The Gentoos are about 2.5 … Continued

Skiing Emma & Dialaite Islands

November 23, 2010

We are currently at Port Lockroy and Wenke Island after some long days of skiing Emma and Dialaite Islands. The team has put in some vert and loving the ski conditions in Antarctica. We hope the weather improves a bit to have more visability as we move south through the LeMaire Channel.

Port Lockroy and Jabat Peak

November 23, 2010

It has been a couple of exciting days here in the Antarctic Peninsula. We skied some incredible first descents on Delaite Island and Emma Island. Both around 1200 ft and with amazing views. We still have not had consistent good weather, but hoping things will improve. It has been very windy, with gusts up to … Continued

Sightseeing and Skiing on the Peninsula

November 21, 2010

It has been an amazing trip thus far. The Drake has been all that it has cranked up to be. A rough 2.5 days and we have had a couple days of Skiing. We stopped at an Elephant seal colony and a giant petrel colony. We did get to ski a nice flank on Livingston … Continued

Starting Across the Drake Passage

November 16, 2010

Hey guys, We are just getting into the thick of it. We are entering the Drake Passage and the seas are not that bad. We have a Northeasterly wind, which helps our travel South, and the seas are only 15 feet (but seem large for our 75-foot sail boat.) We are all doing well and … Continued

Getting Ready for the Antarctic Ski Cruise

November 15, 2010

Hola Amigos: We all arrived Ushuaia, Argentina to beautiful sunshine and temps around 55F. I am missing an important item — my skis — but Aerolenas Argentinas promises me it will be here today. Our team hiked up the Martial Glacier this morning for some exercise and everyone seems fit and ready. The Australis is … Continued
