From the remote shores of Greenland and Svalbard to the heights of the Himalayas, it has been a long and memorable winter. We look forward to welcoming you back in 2026 but in the meantime, here are a few video and photo highlights from the past six months.
Elemental Adventure returned to Svalbard in April with an experienced group of ski-tourers. Guest, James B, described the trip as "mind-blowing". Find out why in our 2025 Trip highlights gallery.
In January 2025 we went in search of powder in Hokkaido and Honshu, Japan and to see what all the fuss was about. Based on our experience, this is all you need to know.
