“The Polar Star is one of many incredible couloirs that split some of the world’s largest rock walls in the Sam Ford Fjord Zone. The setting is incredibly beautiful but cold, windy and unforgiving. Skiers traveling to the Arctic environs of Baffin should be prepared for serious weather and serious adventure.” (FCSDofNA)
