Hi Twitter! ⛄️ looks like I only have 280 characters, so I’ll be splitting my intro post into a series…

At a high-level, i’m an entrepreneur, adventure photographer and filmmaker, ski mountaineer, activist and advocate for story-based decision making (more on that later) 🙂

Doug Stoup making his 50th trip to the frozen continent and my 4th. Always a pleasure and honor to join such a world class crew.

‘Into The Arctic Storm’ - this was the final moment of visibility before an absolute whiteout for two days

Each Arctic gust brought with it increased speed and carried denser, icy bullets on a polar training expedition #nature #adventure #photography #explore #arctic #travel #⛺️

02:30 am on expedition in the Arctic with the great Paul Nicklen, Cristina Mittermeier and Sea Legacy.

What a wild world we live in! 🙌

Thunderstruck ice on the border of Canada and Minnesota. Crazy Lake ice and awesome conditions for skating!

Floating ephemeral ice places in the middle of the Arctic Ocean - somewhere above Russia while supporting Mike Horn and Børge Ousland on their #NorthPoleCrossing

An adventure I will never forget

The coldest day I’ve ever experienced thus far at -52 Celsius. This was as we left the most remote and abandoned town of Pyramiden… after being stranded there for 2 days because the ice froze the entire fjord and we couldn’t get picked up… more fun times in the Arctic ⛄️

[Stein Retzlaff ⚡️ @SteinRetzlaff]

In 2019, I spent 3 months on the Arctic island of Svalbard on film and ski expeditions. This was one of our team’s Arctic home for 14 days.

Good times! ⛄️⛺️

Intro-series of “what i love”: ski mountaineering⛷

these were some of my first turns in Antarctica 🇦🇶 in 2017 with Ice Axe Expeditions. I was born and raised in Lake Tahoe, CA, so this was a dream trip. Very fortunate to now work in Antarctica almost every year
