How to calculate the delta-v necessary for a suborbital "transfer" of dry ice from Mars' pole to equator?

I have a big chunk of water ice that needs to go from (say) one of Mars's poles to its equator.

Neglecting the atmosphere, how would you calculate the delta-v necessary for this trajectory, and what would the resulting value be?
