Coming off of EuroBBI can this forum handle a second round of stoke of this magnitude?
We’re gonna find out. Someone turn that box fan up to 11.
This place was built on stoke
And this thread has HOF written all over it
Although we might need some strippers

Fuk yeah! This is a trip of a lifetime! Enjoy DTM and send us back some stoke!!!
Damn now I'm tempt
Hell yeah DTM!
Powerful life lesson...always be training for Alaska.
Excited someone on the forum is taking the opportunity, look forward to TR.
Fuck yeah DTM. That is awesome!
I’m hoping there’s a take a heli ski lap with sage video.
Heli booked, flights booked, car booked. No turning back now.

My oldest has taken the DTM program to heart, he forgot to skip leg day yesterday and begged off the training for AK that went on today. We saw the bomb holes, can’t think of a better dude to enjoy this.
Do you have a Go Pro? If not we should fix that.
Yes. Hero7 Black, good enough. Just ordered some new batteries.
Fuck yeah, subscribing. This is awesome.

Between JH last week and this thread, I’ll consider this a wake-up call to better maintain conditioning. This would be a dream trip for me but it ain’t ever happening in the shape I’m in.
So rad. Git sum!
Hell fucking yeah!!! Someone should give this man the latest and greatest go pro for maximum droolage!!!

Tangent: when this came up I did a quick check to see if it was possible. It isn’t, but my fantasy included an equipment and skills check. And two questions…
1. I immediately figured I’d bring my 191 Renegades. They’re a maple core proto pair, so a little bit heavier and stiffer than standard, and I wouldn’t hesitate to rock them anywhere, especially if it’s steep, though if there isn’t a powder/soft crud payoff I’d just as soon have something else in tight bumps or groomers. Fine print says they want something cambered and these aren’t that. Would the Rens be a bad choice? Why?
2. I have no avy knowledge and have no avy gear. I’m pretty good at following directions and am quicker than the next guy, usually. How big a barrier would that be? How best to bridge the gap in the meantime in a place far removed from any kind of avy class?
Just guessing here. But I’m assuming they suggest something with camber as they’ve had too many experiences of people showing up with full reverse skis that they’ve never skied and struggling. I’m also positive they have tons of experience dealing with people with no avi gear/knowledge experience. I was really close to booking this, had a rental car and airplane ticket. Decided to go to Haines instead. I’m taking 196 and 186 OG renegades.
