Female Pro Skiers Use Sailboat To Explore Greenland (Watch Trailer)​

I’ll be honest- I get a lot of emails every day from folks looking for my help in promoting their films.​

​

I want to help everybody I can, but sometimes there are simply too many fantastic skiing and snowboarding projects out there for one ski blogger to talk about.​

​

I have other responsibilities in this job, believe it or not.​

​

Every once in a while, though, a film or trailer stops me dead in my tracks and I immediately know that I have to share it here on Unofficial Networks.​

​

‘Going Greenland’ is the most recent film to have that effect on me.​

​

‘Going Greenland’ follows athletes Rachael Burks and Jessica Baker as they explore backcountry ski lines across Greenland using a sailboat powered by renewable energy sources.​

​

The full film premiers January 5, 2023 in Jackson, WY at the Center For the Arts, but you can watch the fantastic trailer today.​

​

Check it out ​

​

You can’t tell me that you don’t want to watch the full film after seeing the trailer.​

​

I know that most of Greenland is covered by ice and snow, but I had no idea that there are legitimate couloirs and backcountry terrain that can be accessed with a sailboat and some touring skis.​

I had a co-worker spend 3 weeks or so sailing in Greenland with French Offshore legend Isabel Autisier on a good sized expedition yacht ferrying around a film crew for a mountain climbing documentary. The pictures he bought back were just stunning.

Don’t think this was the movie they made, but it may well be.

Geezum. And I thought Tuckerman Ravine was challenging enough, but we didn't have to cross cold oceans to get there.

Respect.

I don't mind the cold but I have limits.

All old news anyway. Bill Tilman did this stuff way back.

FKT

I didn't know Tilman skied. Interesting fellow.

I wonder how they heat the boat without fossil fuels? Friends have sailed Greenland on their Van de Stadt Samoa and they have 3 different heating systems on board.

The Rev. Bob Shelton did a fair amount of high latitude sailing on his 33’ Westerly Discus, including this expedition with 4 climbers.

5 blokes on a Discus. Smelly!

And the ultimate nutter, Trevor Robertson. Who does things like solo overwintering in Greenland and Antarctica.
