Seven continents5/11/2023 It’s big mountain nirvana, skiing massive gondola assisted back country runs, deep powder, superb trees or wide open alpine slopes, Kashmiri culture, great food and when it’s snowing, some exquisite 4WD taxi, or touring through trees. Asia: Skiing in the historic state of Kashmir, northern India. Lean about skiing the Antarctica Peninsula here and about skiing inland Antarctica here. An expedition to Antarctica is an exotic, life changing experience very few people have the opportunity to experience. As a result of this diversity, every continent is divided into several countries with the exception of Antarctica (which currently has no countries within its borders.) Skiing the Seven Continents:Īntarctica: Skiing on the Antarctic PeninsulaĪntarctica is seen by many as the ‘Last Frontier’ for skiing and snowboarding due to its remote location and difficulty of access. Each has its own cultures, languages, climate, geographic features and identity. Each of the continents of the world is unique.

Skiing the seven continents is a relatively new adventure for skiers and boarders and I encourage people to get into the backcountry, meet the locals, experience the food and learn about the culture of each continent. I think I became the 8th or 9th NZer to climb them all. I completed climbing these peaks in 2019 Mts Everest, Elbrus, Aconcagua, Denali, Kilimanjaro, Vinson Massif and Carstensz Pyramid. These days it is commonly accepted that Carstenzs Pyramid in Indonesia is the official 7th summit on the Australasian tectonic plate. But that was with Mt Kosciuszko in Australia being counted at the ‘7th’ summit. Exploring the seven continents was made famous by Richard Bass because in 1983 he climbed the highest peak on each continent. ![]() Planet Earth is home to around eight billion people spread across seven continents.
