AK Withdrawl
By: Dana Flahr | Wednesday, April 30, 2008
Restless nights, bad motel coffee, and seemingly endless amounts of fear and anxiety. Man do I miss it.
I'm back in Pemberton BC now, where life is easy, and the air smells like spring. Mt.Currie is still caked in snow, and Blackcomb Mountain hasn't even thought about starting to melt. I just want to go back home, to my motel room at the Captain's Choice. Life was as simple as it gets. My room filled with ski gear, a skateboard on a PVC pipe, and music. That's all I need. Not to mention every single one of my neighbours in the motel were not only the world's best skiers, photographers, and cinematographers, but some of the coolest people to hang out with and kick around a soccer ball.
Here are a bunch of photos I've been staring at since I've been back, in a small attempt to take me back to a place that tought me more about everything than you would ever believe.
Winter Madness!
By: Dana Flahr | Tuesday, April 01, 2008
This winter has been sick. Dumping in BC, dumping in Jackson, dumping beyond fathomable in Baker, and I was lucky enough to have experienced a little taste of it all.
Recap- December, Whistler: Snow, ski, sleep, hike, snow, ski, sleep, hike, sun, ski, sleep. Eat, ski, sleep. The ski legs are back.
January: Ian McIntosh, Kye Petersen, Victoria Jealouse and I start chippin' away for "Under The Influence", the '08 TGR ski film. It's definately winter, and it's deep and cold. After a week of down time, we headed to Baker for 4 days of true realness. Don't bother going there though, it wasn't that good.
February: Still goin at it. The ball is rollin' and we are stoked. We've discovered tons of new terrain, and discovery alone keeps everything real exciting. The energy is high. After a week of no snow or sun, my spoiled nature of the season catches up to me. Like a true fiend, I fly to Jackson 24 hours later for another fix. Surprise: it's deep as shit and epic. Pumped to see all the Jackson boys, especially in the cold smoke!
March: A few more days in the BC backcountry and the shots are rollin' in for everybody. I'm heading to Terrace in a few days, then straight to AK for 6 weeks. The bags are packed: Ski gear, a few changes of clothes, passport, and music. It's life on the road for the next two months... so stay tuned.
Decency in BC
By: Dana Flahr | Wednesday, March 28, 2007
Well I have to say that whatever could have happened today, did happen. Blown up snowmobiles, rope rescues, dehydration, avalanches and quick sand. How can I make this quick... Well a few days in the Pemberton backcountry with a sick crew of people. Filmer Rick Johnston, photographer Bryn Hughes, athletes Victoria Jealouse, Eric Roner, Guy Deschenes (Snowboarder/Rooper/helper extraordinaire), Daryl Treadway and myself set out to go out and give 'er. We did that, and we also blew up Roner's sled, rescued Daryl off an insane cliff with ghetto McGiver'ed ropes, saw a decent sized avy follow me down the bottom of a line, and after all that, managed to get 'ol red stuck in some Pembe quicksand while trying to leave the place after a 12 hour day...
Exploring the Tordrillos
By: Dana Flahr | Monday, February 26, 2007
These are some photos I've taken in the last 10 days here in the Tordrilla mountains, Alaska. I'm here shooting with TGR, and exploring these mountains. There is a lot of ridiculous things out here to be seen, I'm learning. It's about minus twenty, and the snow couldn't be any drier. Many of the mountains we've been skiing have never been skiied before either... Enjoy (at least a little bit to as close as I have been)...
