    Arctic man looks cool and a total shit show is part of the fun.

    Coat Tail Alaska is put on by one of the biggest douche bags in the industry. I wouldn't give him a penny.

    5000 angry, horny drunk dudes and maybe 100 chicks, sounds like a fucking great time!

    No several guys did it last year.



    In addition, Mt Bachelor skier Ravi Drugan will be doing Arctic Man in a monoski this year. Here's video of him in the 2011 X games

    Better off hitting Thompson pass or Haines, etc for the mo'betta snow. That said there are solid mountains in the general area.

    I appreciate the info.

    Are you saying the snow conditions aren't as good this year there, or it's just better around Thompson in general?

    That area tends to get cold. Like -40 cold. There is a reason that heli ops are all based around more coastal areas. The mountains are awesome and the ski mountaineering is great, but the snowpack is generally cold and dry.

    word on the street is that with a good sled, there are some awesome sled skiing zones, however the skiing will generally depend on what this next storm brings. I think those mountains get a bit of wind though.

    Valdez skiing has been decent, I'm sure it needs a serious refresh like everywhere else up here, but it probably has better coverage than a lot of places.

    FTR Arctic Man and Tailgate are not the same thing, they are hundreds of miles apart and almost a completely different crowd.

    Werd. Relative to our travels a couple of hundred miles is not an issue.

    Which crowd would you party with?

    Neither, I'll pass on drunken slednecks and drunken snowboarder/slednecks. I'd go out and build a camp on a glacier and tour with 3-4 friends.

    Bump - Ravi Drugan took 3rd in the adaptive class with a time of 6:00:44.

    He's the guy in the blue jacket, 2nd from right.
