Alaska TR: Patience Rewarded (with photos)

FKNA. Utterly amazing. I'm jealous.

Unfuckingbelievable I was up at Alyeska during the summer and I remember standing on the North Face wishing it was winter so I could try Christmas/New Year's chutes.

Great TR.

fucking sick!

Nice TR. The first trip there is so inspiring...makes you so happy and proud you invested so much time in the sport.
Definitely a "on top of the world" feeling.

FFFFFKKKKKNNNNNAAAAA! Nice job and thanks for the report!

Niiiiiiice.

Great TR. After reading this I have a serene feeling overcome me. Much easier to approach a work day this way. Thanks.

Finally the sun began to break through Sunday evening. Our hopes climbed as it shone through breaks in the clouds across the Turnagain tidal flat

Here comes Sunshine!!! That is some tripped out shit. The sky looked like the ocean and vice versa. All the pics are sweet and the TR as well. Nice work. What did the whole trip end up running you if you don't mind me asking?

[QUOTE=3pin]Tom's friend had us at the Great Alaskan Bush Company. An Anchorage must-see apparently, although the 4pm, Monday afternoon strippers were probably not their best girls (I hope).QUOTE]

Fantastic TR 3pin - looking forward to the article.

Thanks for that - talk about stoke!

Thanks for all the comments and feedback. Still digesting it all. Glad I can share the stoke, so here's a little more...

By far the best run of our trip. I've seen Boner City before, and skied there a few times, but this was like finding the underwater Atlantis of Boner Cities. This run still replays in my mind. Tom skiing with lots of little slough runners on the Shark Pit.
