Despite our big expeditions being over we still have courses and workshops through September. Oddly enough the guides that are around all have the day off. They are sorting through their gear, surfing the net and eating a lot of food.

AMS guide Kevin Smith just rolled in from Kavik, Alaska where he was a safety/logistics person on a film shoot with National Geographic, Life Below Zero.
