This fall Chris Davenport, Stian Hagen and Andrea Binning, along with writer Rob Story and filmers Jim Surette and Scott Simper, of Granite Films, traveled by boat to the Antarctica Peninsula to ski some biglines.
The crew skied several first descents and had an amazing time in an amazing place. We're sure we'll see stories in the mags and the crew is going to produce it's own movie from the trip; so stay tuned for that.
