Alaska Backcountry Snowboarding

Sunday, January 27, 2008
Four of us (plus 4 others and 2 guides) took an excursion with Chugach Powder Guides in one of their snowcats in the Alaskan backcountry (not too far from the Alyeska resort).

Our two guides, “Durney” and Kurt, were fantastic. In the whole group, all but two were snowboarders (and the two guides skied as well).

The footage was shot using my new helmet cam from V.I.O. pov. You can see the camera at helmetcameracentral.com . The quality of the footage this camera takes is amazing.

The song is “No Cars Go”, by Arcade Fire.

Enjoy

    Great vid, it is my #1 favorite on YouTube. I ride Alyeska all the time but your video seals the deal for me on doing a trip with CPG. To make it even better they have a special deal on Tues. and Thurs. for the rest of the season. Since last weekend we have got over 40 inches of fresh at Girdwood. GLORY!

    If I paid to do this I would not be crossing over other peoples tracks. To me that would ruin the experience.

    Man I need to learn how to turn and stuff because I just bullet down and it’s not because I I want to, but because I don’t know how to. haha But yeah, I live in Anch. and I’ve never really taken advantage of its winters but this really inspires me to want to learn to snowboard more this winter. That’s a really nice cam, and really good footage you got there. Thanks for sharing!

    Hi. We were in South central Alaska – about 1 hour East of Anchorage. We stayed at the Alyeska resort in the town of Girdwood. This day we took a trip with Chugach Powder Guides in the backcountry on the other side of the mountains from the resort.

    Truly badical. I can’t get over how cool the music was on that powerdery hill. I was a bit alarmed that a skiier was the leader. I hope to one day to be badder than bad and more radical than radical. Although some dreams are never realized it’s better than to not have a dream. – Holy Shredder in Training
