Well, you'll most likely fly into and out of juneau, which has a fun little ski area and good backcountry. So that might be your best bet for your 2 weeks off as well?

Damn. Very cool, Nice to see the back yard represented.

Those things look like oversized teva's, kind of strange.
Hey now, I started the thread, I'm first in line if anyone has any.:tongue: I was thinking they would be perfect for hatchers area, seeing...

Wow, stuff gets buried quick on this page! anyone have any idea where I could find a pair? There must be some out there somewhere.

Hey, I've searched online without much luck, Interested in acquiring a pair for early season riding when I don't want to take out the split yet. Thanks.

I would imagine the wyoming range would be your best bet, I've never been there in the winter, but spent some time there in the summer. I remember there still being snow on wyoming peak in late july,...

Does look pretty sweet, $130 a night seems kind of steep though. I suppouse its probably worth it not having to live in a cramped tent.

what time of year are you going? I'm thinking of going down in august and probably staying for at least a couple months.

Driving 6+ hours one way from girdwood to valdez for one day hardly sounds worth it to me, it is a scenic drive however... Turnagain should be good, still probably a 150"+ base. Alyeska 250" at the...

they actually scan your tickets now? damn.

Sweet man! thats a pretty hardcore line, was looking at it today(live right near base of it) looks a little thin still? Right up the center couloir? Always thought about doing that, maybe this spring.

I saw it today in anchorage for a couple minutes ;) Hatchers skied decent yesterday, certainly firm, wind effected, and not much snow. But chalky and edgeable turns and not quite as warm as down...

Sweet shots man, wish I could make it down there again this year. Don't think the knee or the finances are up to it though. Next year!

Anyone ride turnagain today? Thinking about heading up there tomorrow, not sure how deep heavy snow will feel on the knees though, oh well, only one way to find out.

Another ACL victim here, I'm about 6 and 1/2 months out now. I'm actually a snowboarder, so a little off topic, but I am an avid splitboarder, and was wondering how skinning went for people. I went...

wow, what a waste of money, the lower elevations is such a terrible place for park/pipe, it rains and is icy way too much, I think the new owner has only been here a couple years and has not seen how...

No, I hear you, I do miss the bozone sometimes,lived there for a couple years. can't beat the sunny powder days they always seem to get, although alyeska seemed to have an unusual number of them last...

Good, go, its too crowded up here already ;)

Ah yes, gotta love the knuckles gnar section, definately the best snow on the mountain if you know where to look, the rocks tend...

Roger that, after living in ak for a while you realize crossing tracks is over rated.

Not sure if this has been posted before, Even if it has I think its a good idea for as many people as possible who backcountry skis to see this, it certainly made an impression on me. Amazing...

If you'd bothered to read my most recent post you'd know I was asking which was harder on the knees and if anyone had experience surfing after ACL surgery..thanks

BUMP, here's another question, which is harder on the knees? I spent 2 months in costa rica 2 winters ago and did a fair amount of surfing, super fun, but also super hard, definitely got humbled a...

Why is this in gimp central exactly? because your insides feel like their going to explode afterwards? :rolleyes2

Take the ferry from whittier to juneau..I did it going the reverse direction it was about 500. Not really that much more money when you figure wear and tear on your car(hugest frost heaves I've ever...

Crazy how it actually goes over the top of the one mountain.

What kind of excercises do you do in the pool? My doctor said no pool for 6 months, which seems absurd. My pt was surprised too, tried to explain not swimming neccesarily but just stretches and...

Very nice, I really liked this TR. There's something really special about being up in vast mountains all by yourself, especially in moonlight! And you expressed this really well. The feeling after...

Well, alaska range is a whole differet ball game, I was thinking road accessible stuff, sure if you money down for a plane drop you could find goods into june easily.

Most likely not, getting pretty warm the last couple days, things are ripping out big time. After the big cycle/early in the morning might catch good corn riding though, if its not on volcanic ash.

hahah, oh man, that stuff contributed to many nights of good times for me, and many days of being lazy.

Costa Rica is amazing. Youll have a sweet time no matter where you go, try to get out of san jose as soon as possible though. Monteverde and Arenal are your typical tourist trap type locations...

Well, I've joined the ranks of the gimped(again) Tore my ACL at eaglecrest a couple weeks ago. I've got more than just the standard problem however... I broke my fib/tib about 4 years ago and still...

Yeah, it was shitty ;) Where it got "crunchy" underneath everyone seemed to leave the trees and go to the main runs, I still had fun floating through the trees on the untouched, just dont weight the...

Yeah, alyeska sucks, it only has a 90" base at the top, in november. How much do you have in jackson :the_finge

BUMP. I'm open to anywhere from bird creek-moose pass, hope to not pay more than 700. Have a good job. Easy going. really dont want to live in anchorage if I can help it. Anybody have any ideas...

Thinking of going to the 9pm show tonight. Anyone else going?

bump for some local alaskan stoke. Nice vid. I like this one too

Looking for a roommate or room/cabin for rent in girdwood this winter. Anyone need a roommate or know anyone who does? Running water would be nice, but not entirely necessary I suppose. I'm open to...

Post that shit up! Id like to see the full version.

sometimes aimlessly searching youtube does get good results.

Extremely wet and heavy, trail breaking was a bitch and a half with both my boards weighing about 20 pounds before i finnaly gave up and started booting. It was still really fun though, They closed...

Its snowing at my house right now!

I just got over a bad cold and after sitting on the couch for 3 bluebird days I got out and hit a fun couloir. Its been really warm, the snows melting fast. There were wetslides everywhere, so I...

Hey, nice shots!

I did one day with seandogs crew last spring, I wasnt able to stay out as long as I would have liked though due to shortage of funds. Still fun as hell though. What day was your...

Hey, nice pics man, alaska is representing on the main page. You make me want to go to valdez now.



Its funny how many of those tracks disappeared when it slid.

I just returned home from 2 months in costa rica/panama a little over a week ago. It was an amazing trip. But its good to be back on the board and up in the mountains. Heres some pics from the last...

No plan is always the best plan in my book. I'll probably be working up near denali/cantwell on the railroad at that time, I'll have my board, but dont know if I'll have the energy to use it after...
