A pack-free adventure across the world's largest, renamed, sand island.
WE ASKED:
WHAT'S BEEN YOUR MOST EPIC SNOW EXPERIENCE?
ROBERTO SERRINI @serrini
Coming from Long Island, NY snow is a force to be reckoned with. So anything I find more extreme than a good ol’ fashion February you’re-not-going-anywhere-buddy blizzard is a thrill. For me, I found that thrill in Iceland, which seems name appropriate. Snowmobiling Langjökull Glacier was not only an extreme rush, but a rare one, since, if we keep going the way we are, it will be dirt bikes soon.

Growing up, my family didn't do ski holidays. We were more of a beach kind of gang. So I actually didn't experience snow until I was 26 and on a shoot in Patagonia. We'd gotten up before sunrise to trek it out to this remote glacier, the sun was starting to rise and these flakes started falling on my face. It was honestly otherworldly. I think I cried.

At the age of 25 I hadn't been around much snow at all, which only amplified my excitement the first time I saw real snowfall. This took place in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia — the world’s coldest capital city. I’d consumed quite a bit of vodka inside a dark, dingy bar with two Canadians, a Dane and a Norwegian, with no windows from our vantage point to the outside world. When we left the bar to find it snowing heavily, it felt like I had exited a tunnel and entered one of the Christmas snow globes which had enchanted me so much as a child. Although my cooler-climate friends couldn’t have given less of a fuck, drunk and seeing snowfall for the first time is an experience I’d recommend to anyone.

I joined a sail boat in Tonga with the idea I would spend a month or two sailing the South Pacific, but a year later we found ourselves having sailed through the north west passage above Alaska, Canada and over to Greenland deep in the most remote parts of the Arctic. We got iced into a bay for a month, nearly got crushed by ice, had encounters with polar bears, lost a mate overboard in the ice briefly, hung out with Inuit hunters, sailed under the northern lights, faced epic storms and crossed some of the roughest oceans on the planet.
get in the know Aomori city in Japan is considered the snowiest city in the world with 312 annual inches of snowfall!
