You have just brought yourself to very unique corner of this planet. A place where a tremendous amount of glacial ice meets lush green temperate rainforest. It doesnt quite sound right, two seemingly complete opposite environments staring each other down. But when standing in the midst of all, taking it in deep, everything comes together and makes complete sense. This is like no other place that i've been. Southeast Alaska...
Juneau produces great riders on and off the snow. This is David McCasland ripping Gold street, screaming by in a toeside slide...
A micro-glimpse of time. The changes that take place on this temperate glacier in just a short period of time are remarkable...From streams of the greatest water ever tasted finding it's way to disappear deep inside of a moulin, to holes that quickly grow big enough to walk through like this one.

Snow riders boot up the shoulder of the East Bowl just out of bounds at Eaglecrest Ski Area. Stephens Passage separates them from the peaks of Admiralty Island, standing tall out of cloud cover.
Playing on a sweet little feature created from lots of snow and wind out in the Juneau Icefield.
Nick, Johnny B, Lucas and Nancy resting and taking it all in after a skin, awaiting to pop kites into the wind.
Keely nothing but smiles after sweet turns in Southeast Alaskan powder.
Lamb cruising on a Carveboard. Any of you ever ridden one of these? If not, you should! But be warned! The turns should remain at a controlled speed...It has been proven that if an unsafe speed is attained, the rider becomes bucked from this vehicle. It's not pretty! But, with that said, the sick thing about this board is that you can make really tight carves on steep pavement, kind of like riding your snow board in a steep, narrow couloir.
Surprisingly, we found a ninja on top of Mount Wrather.
Scotty B charging out East with a posse of local rippers to capture footage on this bluebird afternoon.
The legendary "Devils Club" that has piercingly sharp, barbed thorns and has no problem puncturing through a couple ply's of carhart's to find flesh! It has however, been used for decades by native's for medicinal purposes. A salve-like cream is prepared and is good for arthritis. In other forms, it has also been used to stabilize blood sugar levels.
