In March 2019, Estski completed an off-piste ski expedition in Nunatsiavut, an Inuit self-governing territory in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. More specifically in two areas around the village of Nain in Labrador: the Fraser Canyon and the Kiglapait Mountains. These mountains and canyons are very little visited in winter and several locals have even mentioned that they have never seen anyone ski these corridors. It would be the first descents of these places in alpine skiing. The Fraser River is probably one of the most majestic canyons in northeastern North America. It runs from the east coast of Labrador almost to the border with Quebec. It is a very rugged terrain and many gorges make it a favorite terrain for extreme skiing. An autonomous base camp will be set up there for a few days to explore some of these lines: the Kiglapait mountains, mostly halfway between Nain village and the Torngat mountains. This place is characterized by very high peaks in the north-east. The vertical drop on these trails is world-class, often exceeding 600 meters. The approach is part of a desire to immerse into local Inuit culture in terms of inclusion and mutual respect. Eat as much local produce as possible, live with community members, collaborate with local stakeholders, and absorb the views and interpretations of traditional Indigenous knowledge keepers.
