Just got back from Valdez, AK trip with the Get Real crew.  I wanted to Prop some of the gear I took up there, here is some of the backcountry extras that cost me hundreds in excess baggage fees, but well worth it.

Burton Malolo 162 EST.  Great Cruiser board with medium taper

Salomon Sick Stick 160.  The board last years rider of the year Wolle Nyvelt rides and I really wanted to check out, it’s definitely a Sick Stick for Pow

Lets not fuck around, the Orthovox D3 is the beacon H20 Guides use for their clients, solid and easy to use

a solid shovel is a must for digging jumps, snow pits, Heli LZ’s, snow caves and in case you need to dig someone out from under and Avalanche in a rush

Probe, this Black Diamond one is nice and light

The Avalung 2, we all got them for the trip and had them on everyday.

Snowsaw

Mandatory Harness for AK Heli boarding, so if you fall into one of those Crevasses they can try rope you out

Water bottle

Snacks and energy supplies are a must for long days in the backcountry.  These Shot Blocks were a hit on the trip

A good pack, mine is a Camera bag but the folks at H20 Guides supplied this one for all it’s guests kitted out with shovel & probe.

Camera gear, I took 5 lenses and 2 bodies.  The longest lense I had was a 300m on the Mark 3 make it about 400m which still wasn’t long enough for a couple shots but the bigger lenses just get too damn heavy to carry around all day

Just happened to Oli Barton and Mike Manzoori in Peru, pretty gnarly. Guns are bad, I’ve had a gun in my throat before in a Bank robbery, definitely not good times.

Check the full run down here with photos and a video clip

Things are shaping up nicely up at Galena Lodge, the snow is DEEP.  I can’t wait to go, I hear there are a few seats still open so drop in come join us for some serious Pow shredding.

Jackson Hole definitely one of the best all-around Mountains in the US, and Kevin Jones definitely one of the best freestyle snowboarders to date.

New Tram at Jackson the place to be
