In the history of skiing, Alaskan big mountain skiing is such a little blip. Seeing what’s happened in the last 20-30 years up here versus in the last 100 years anywhere else is pretty incredible.

However, the second they stepped out of the helicopter, they were reminded of the sheer scale and steepness of the place. It just drew them in even more.
