Yup, with the iceaxe.tv posse. So, who from the board is on this trip anyway?
So far: me, NoHow, StraightChuter, and PointsNorth... who else?

I don't know if stunts is with any crew but saw a couple days ago that he was on his way down from Tokyo. I'm sure y'all will find each other.

The forecast for crossing the Drake Passage is starting to look spicy: 1-2m waves building to +10m swells by this weekend. Bon voyage?

Jim, what are you shooting on? Wondering how much weight in glass etc you are dragging out there with you
Best wishes to you, NoHow and the rest of the crew for this trip!_______________________________________________

My current camera kit is a Canon 7D, 70-200 f4 non-IS, 24-70 2.8, 10-22 3.5, plus tripod, fluid head, and a prime lens or two I dont often take skiing. Camera body plus three lenses and cases weighs in somewhere around 8lbs and the tripod + head adds 4 or 5lbs more. And my setup is probably way smaller and lighter than what the heavy-hitting ski photogs are hauling.
Yeah, it should be a great trip despite the potential for rough seas. We were brainstorming ideas for a trashcan-mounted puke-POV last night. Too bad I don't have one of those snazzy new 120fps GoPros.

That's pretty much the identical setup I had in the Arctic. Worked out really well! Except I wish I had the 2x (even the 1.4) extender for my 70-200 for shooting wildlife. Consider borrowing one from someone on the trip if you can. Originally Posted by The Gnarwhale

I believe that Mister 'Snow stats' Crocker would be part of that trip. I saw him post once or twice over here, forgot what his alias was on TGR. I really have to hand it him for getting out and making this trip as his experiences are almost uniquely lift assisted (everywhere from ropetow to copters) Originally Posted by The Gnarwhale

I'm friends with Todd also and I believe my buddy Matty is on that trip also. Well that is what he told me, knowing him he could be anywhere. Originally Posted by powdork

The boat is headed back to Ushuaia now on schedule with their itinerary. Will be back on Sunday. Internet on the boat turned out to be less reliable than he thought it would be. Sounds like it was an awesome trip with about a weeks worth of great skiing. Photos and stories to follow in a few days
