If you enjoy skiing untouched snow, you know there is no better feeling than getting out in the backcountry far away from civilization.  Today, South Iceland Adventure took our crew for the experience of a lifetime. 

If you want to get a whole camera crew to the top of a volcano, the only way is by superjeep.  These things are setup for serious expeditions and had no problem taking us up the Tindfjoll Volcano in the Thórsmörk mountain range.  (Named after the Norse God Thor).  

Our South Iceland Adventure guides brought up a snowmobile for us so we could find some amazing settings for the Climate Unchange film.  Sure enough, the weather broke and we had an unbelievable day… our crew from Bladesman Productions were thrilled.

At the top of this ridge, we shot some awesome ski and snowmobile scenes.  Imagine the most amazing untouched bowl, with a perfect windblown snow cornice to drop in off of.  Forget lift access skiing… we just had our guides pick us up in the snowmobile at the bottom and dropped back another dozen times… 

At this point we were absolutely speechless, but of course there was more to do and we topped it off by jumping off a massive waterfall on the way back to our base into a 4*C lagoon.  South Iceland Adventure calls it their Wet, Wild, and Fun canyoning tour, and it was certainly all of that… 

Unreal.
