We’ll supply the shelter and kitchen essentials; you bring your bedding and personal camping gear. On the final evening, we sail back across the lake, hearts full and legs tired from days well spent.

As the first light hits the peaks, we fuel up with breakfast and head out to chase perfect snow—riding different aspects of the mountain, surrounded by good friends and unforgettable views. a day filled with adrenaline and breathtaking scenery, we make our descent and set sail toward the port—sharing stories, laughter, and unforgettable moments along the way.

There’s something undeniably magical about this experience—gliding across deep blue waters with skis in tow, chasing untouched snow where the mountains kiss the shoreline.

“I’ve never experienced Skiing Like this Before. Patagonia Is Second to None.”

Caption’s Vision

Like all true backcountry skiers, I’ve always chased the wild—the untouched, the remote, the places that whisper danger and promise magic. I was obsessed with those dreamlike films from Norway, Iceland, Alaska… where rugged mountains plunge into icy seas and skiers carve lines where land meets water. That’s when it hit me: we could do this here too. And so began the adventure—into a mountain range where the only way in... was by boat.

We explored the lake like pioneers, discovering untouched terrain and endless faces to ski, all surrounded by a raw, untamed wilderness that humbles and inspires in equal measure. The air was crisp, the silence absolute. It wasn’t just skiing—it was communion with something greater.

I’ve always been drawn to water—but here, it’s something else. You can swim in it, drink it, and feel it running through everything. It’s that pure.

When you combine pristine snow, glacial lakes, and the deep solitude of the wild, something shifts. You don’t just ski—you feel it all. The rhythm of nature, the pulse of your heart, and the freedom of exploring a place so wild, so elemental, it makes every turn unforgettable.
