    From Kamchatka With Love

    Got an email from Bro Modeler Vadim Kim in Russia. He recently won the Kamchatka Freeride Comp and sent along some stoke photos from what must be one of the most far flung comps in the world. Thought I'd share his pics as we don't see lot of stuff from such remote corners of the universe.

    Kamchatka is far flung for sure. I recommend to anyone checking it out on Google Earth. Surprising they had a comp there.

    Thanks for sharing!

    They also have an incredible steelhead fishery there... remote as shit tho.. can't believe they held a comp there... must have taken two Ruskie military choppers just to fly in the booze..

    If I could ever swing it, that's one place I'd love to go. And not even for the skiing.
