looks fun!

Hood has snow :) Good skiing, as always.

How crazy would that be for ol' chads to be gone! Petition Signed!!

The type of terrain that you ski on is a big factor, in Alaska, Airbags will definitely save your life because the most common type of avalanches we see is loose snow avalanches, and occasionally a...

Don't forget to talk about plane assisted skiing...pretty sure that came before the heli.

Avalanche Education is a great thing. An even greater thing is traveling to different mountain ranges, and experiencing how things are different everywhere you go. Alaska is one of those places you...

Bnaff is such a sweet spot! Just make sure everyone has a beacon, shovel and probe with the knowledge how to use them. Have fun out there!

Might as well just come to AK. 75 dollar day of flights from Anchroage to Valdez. Best skiing on earth....

We will start doing cat skiing for locals and who ever wants to very soon. Cold Temps and good snow up high in Valdez lately.

Would love to see the Sierras get some decent snow this winter...Such a sick zone.

One could suck, one could be great and vice versa. Might as well just wait and book last minute! Mt. Baker usually has good early season snow. Or come to AK! It's been snowing in the high country...

SkiDoo Summit all the way. The bigger the better. Judge the person that you are buying it from. If they seem like a sled abuser, watch out. No one likes a sled abuser.

MMMMMmmmm Warp Wave :D

Might as well just get off the lift and point it! Who needs trail maps just have fun out there!!

I had MPFL reconstruction about a year ago and have been doing Bikrim yoga as my therapy and my knee has never felt better!

Valdez has nice public schools, they teach our kids about avalanches and crevasses!

-BOV

Hopefully it keeps on dumping or warms up and melts it all so we don't hear about any more avalanches. It's been a rough start to the snow year.

Haines will get skunked! Come to Valdez!!

Yup, looks live Valdez is going to get pounded....again!

Our friend lives near Schweitzer, and he agrees the snow levels are not even half of what they get in Canada.

Not true! Heli-Ski Guides at Black Ops love their jobs!

Sad times in the Mountains. RIP

I hate to say it but snowtel really is not that accurate, at least in the Valdez/Cordova area. We use at least 20 different sites to determine conditions. I would give you them but it won't let me...

Hey Lindahl,

One of our heli guides, Andy Brooks, guides and lives in Japan for most of the year. One thing I have herd him talk about a lot is how the sidecountry is very tricky. Skiing in any of...

Hey Dan,

I live in Valdez, AK, and have spent many years in Juneau. First thing is first, Alaska is breath taking and very unique. Juneau is one of those places you might want to visit before you...

Wow, amazing pictures Grant. Reminds us of home, can't wait to slash some spines this year!
