TR: Thompson Pass, Valdez, AK
The Chugach, in April, under blue skies with a fresh coat of paint..been dreaming of catching Thompson Pass like that for years. Pretty wild scene – sledder gypsies from all over North America camped out for months, wood fired hot tubs scattered about on the Tsaina River, people coming from around the world to chase ski dreams, mostly by way of helicopter, but some, the minority, walking around the Chugach ever so slowly under their own power. Still hard to imagine that prior to Doug Coombs first guiding these mountains in the early 1990s, hardly anyone had ever skied them aside from a group of locals quietly putting in the work.
