Honnestly, something worth to put on your lifeline
Amazing views views and nice lines! Overall very memorable experience.
An amazing experience all round, the Norderlicht and crew and chef were exceptional the snow perfect and Sawback team were very organised
The Svalbard trip is a wonderful, exciting, gorgeous adventure. So much more than just a ski trip.
The trip was great. The crew made an unforgettable trip even more unforgettable. Great food and amazing crew.
A fabulous ski and sail tripTom Wolfe coordinated a fabulous ski and sail trip to Svalbard. It was an amazing trip that took into consideration the goals and capabilities of each of the guests, while keeping safety top of mind. Tom is not only a professional guide, he’s a really nice guy too. I look forward to skiing with him (and the other guides) again in the future.
Svalbard was mind-bogglingWhen Tom asked me if I wanted to go to the Arctic and ski from a steel hulled yacht I said yes without thinking… Good call. Svalbard was mind-boggling. We always enjoy skiing with Tom, classic Canadian mountain guide, and Phil Wickens ,who was the expedition leader, was also fantastic and a wealth of knowledge! Save your pennies and sign up for 2020 – you won’t regret it…..
The experience of a lifetimeI went on two trips with Tom last winter: to Carlyle Lodge in the interior of BC and to Svalbard. The skiing and snow conditions at Carlyle were great and Svalbard was definitely the experience of a lifetime in terms of the terrain, scenery and wildlife. It totally exceeded my expectations. Tom has a knack for picking great destinations and putting together fun, well organized trips.
An incredible experienceMy family and I had the adventure of a lifetime. It was an incredible experience and Sawback did an excellent job. We would highly recommend the trip and Tom to everyone.
We did a two-day alpine climbing trip with Monte this August. We do a lot of hiking, but we had limited climbing experience. Monte was a generous and awesome guide! He taught us patiently and in an intelligent way all the needed techniques. We had a great time, we learned a lot, all in a beautiful setting! We want to come back!
