What you'll do

Chase snow at the edge of the world on an Arctic ski and sail adventure through Finnmark. Living aboard Moondance, a 56-foot expedition sailboat, you’ll move between remote fjords, islands, and glaciated peaks, using the boat as your floating basecamp. Each day, you step from deck to zodiac to skintrack, climbing through untouched terrain and skiing right back toward the sea.

This trip is made for skiers and splitboarders who love long, rewarding days in the mountains and the simple rhythm of life on board. There’s no rigid, pre-set program: your IFMGA guide reads the weather, snowpack and group energy, then chooses the best objective—whether that’s mellow powder bowls, longer summit missions or steeper couloirs when conditions allow.

Back on Moondance, you share meals in a warm lounge, dry gear, watch charts and maps, and fall asleep to the quiet sounds of the Arctic coastline. It’s a week of genuine exploration in one of Norway’s wildest regions, with small groups, expert guidance and the perfect blend of mountain and sea.
