With a tough snow year in Whistler BC and a very limited budget, Claudia (a professional snowboarder) embarked on a journey from Colorado to Alaska in search of snow and big lines camping in a Snowtrekker.
Two guides from The Land tackle Silver Peak in Killarney Provincial Park Park during a four day winter backcountry trip this New Years. The staggering white quartzite of the ancient La Cloche Range normally presents a high contrast backdrop against the boreal forest, but is blanketed in white when you hike in January.
The last frontier was our final destination goal from the beginning of the season. Alaska, one of the global meccas of backcountry snowboarding. A mission of a journey along the entire way. Camping in a Snowtrekker® tent on the Haines pass, snowmobiling deep into the mountains, climbing the big beautiful snowy faces, gaining knowledge through experience, and riding humbling lines that we could have only ever imagined. AK is a life experience.
Here's what it took to plan and build Fantasy Camp. With the help of Alaska Alpine Adventures and Doug Brewer, TGR's guides haul load after load of gear into the remote mountains of the Neacola range. The tent city comes to life and begins to feel like home for the athletes and film crew.
Get a picture of what went down to make Fantasy Camp possible that you didn't see in Way of Life. Coordinating cinematographers, athletes, pilots, guides and photographers in the remote mountains of Alaska is no joke. Find out how we get the best shots with our new GSS camera system using the RED Epic and Sony Action Cams.
In season 5 episode 10 of Teton Gravity Research's web series Almost Live, Sage Cattabriga-Alosa, Angel Collinson, Todd Ligare, Ian Mcintosh and the rest of the TGR crew arrive at Fantasy Camp.
