Last year I joined Northeast Mountaineering on their ski trip to Iceland... but I wasn't really much of a skier! This year I returned on skis! It was an incredible trip with new and old friends, stunning landscapes and memories I'll hold close to my heart. Our crew consisted of 5 talented skiers and outdoor professionals. Corey Fitzgerald, guide and owner of NEM. Brent Doscher, a talented outdoor photographer. David Lottman, a mountain guide and gear tester. Jerry Isaac, a guide and professor at SUNY Plattsburgh. Erik Howes, an outdoor photographer and adventure seeker. I was stoked to be part of this!

We found Erik like this in the Reykjavik airport after spending 24 hours waiting for his lost ski bag. It didn’t arrive, and neither did ours.





Our first day in Dalvik! Thank you Bergmenn Mountain Guides for the rental skis that saved the day!














Sunrise tour.


















This is our second year returning to our favorite hot dog cart, Akureyri Hot Dog Stand in downtown Akureryi. Best hot dogs in Iceland!




Hot spring cave, Grjótagjá.















Looking back at what we skied!




I was lucky enough to get in front of Brent Doscher's lens on this trip! Shooting with a photographer that I look up was awesome. Thanks Brent for these epic shots below and check out his work here: http://www.brentdoscher.com/
