This is from Storm Show Studio’s Darrell Miller.

It’s not always the ultimate ski-dream in Alaska, there’s a lot of downtime waiting for the perfect conditions. We found this out during our 2008 spring pilgrimage to Valdez, on assignment from Cloudveil to shoot their gear and athletes in some of the burliest terrain in the world. To keep our sanity in waiting for the skies to clear, we kept ourselves busy with other endeavors: Slackline, snowshoeing, snowmachine-assisted ¼ pipe jibbing, and a little rest & relaxation. Don’t just read about it, check out the video clip to see the shenanigans for yourselves. With a solid group of friends, there’s always fun to be had in Alaska!
