Ski

TGR in AK the Session continues

 
Conditions are pretty solid in Haines right now. We have flown 4 out of 6 days. The snow is knee to waist deep and stable. We have been moving into some bigger lines. There is a little threat of buried pepper with such light snow, so you have to be smart in your line selection. We have a great crew up here with Seth Morrison, Ian Macintosh, Tanner Hall and Eric Roner. It's always nice to be back in Alaska this time of year. The last photo in the slideshow was a cool mission. Ian Machit a gnarly triple stage line and double ejected. We had to tow in our guide Kent Scheler and have him jump 10 ft. out to do a ski recovery.
We are poised and ready wih some nice lines on the table when we get good weather. Check back often for more updates from the field.

Tanner Hall switch powder**Tanner Hall has been riding with the TGR crew alot this year. He is gettng primed up in the big mountain realm. It is cool to see him bring his freestyle background to this world. His potential to throw down some mad fusion lines is huge. Here he warms up with a switch pow SAR run.**

Heli Drop Off**Here is Seth Mosrrison getting dropped off on a super nice powder face. We warm into things in Alaska slowly, ticking off small line first and moving up to the big stuff when it is ready. Check out the Plume of powder on this drop off.**

Seth Morrison Contrails**Seth reaps the rewards of a fat storm. Seth lays one of the meanest turns in the business. Check out this contrail as he drops in on a warm up run.**

Ian Mcintosh gets towed in

**Ian Mcintosh gets towed into a gnarly triple stage line. Mac rides super aggresively. This line had three airs and a crazy drop off in the ship. The fun never stops in Alaska.**

Ski recovery heli launch**Mac nailed this line but through a ski at the bottom. The mountain was scraped dry and there was no way to ride down and recover his ski. By the time he stopped sliding he was way below. Our pilot Mike Wilson was quick to say, "Kent(our guide) get in the ship. I'll take you in and hover and you can jump out at the ski." Kent hucked a 10 footer out of the heli and made a quick recovery. Mac was buying beers.**
