Mark in front of the basecamp at the heli pad.

Heliboarding is what riding in Valdez is all about. While not an inexpensive route, there is no experience in snowboarding that can compare to riding directly to a 4000' peak in ten minutes - then scoping and destroying lines - all without bothersome tracks.

A look up at one of the runs we did, Goodwills. We found a little entry through the cornice and ripped the face. Back in the day, riders would first send it off the cornice before trying to negotiate the fat cliff band in the middle. Goodwill was the first person to launch the center of the band a 70+' under-hanging drop.

Another view from the top.

Meanwhile Scott Lago was scoping a large rock ride down in town.

Pro rider Marc Carter rides a line down the shoulder of the Berlin Wall. This line was sweet with three drops and deep, deep, blower pow.

The boys have been rallying the sleds up Nicks to reach the drainages of Python and the back side of the Berlin Wall. All of the riders got shots of a jump they built and Scott Lago and Marc Carter hit up some lines from the top. Another good day on the hill.

Look for todays show on Freecaster.Tv

We spent our first day just outside of town at a jump next to the pipeline.

With a quick sled ride in we were at the bottom of a steep face with booter on top.

Nick Perata and Shane Pospisil scope out the landing.

A quick hike up the jump

A couple of hits and turns in the heavy sea level snow and it was time to BBQ!

We put together the mini kit at the booter site for a nice afternoon of riding through a down day.

Once again thanks to Never Summer for sponsoring the BBQ.

Show from today in final edit!

The MTNOPS crew got into Valdez last night after driving 4 days to get here. We had 3 minor breakdowns that would have had a lesser crew stranded for a while.But the MTNOPS crew pulled through and we got back to the road in short order. We are going to have our first webcast later today, so tune in for that.

Check Here for a bunch more pics of the road.

Here are some more pics from the road to Alaska...

We left Thursday morning for Ak. After a quick stop in Boise to pick up Shane and Basher before turning North and heading into BC.

MTNOPS's JP saved the day with all 3 breakdowns. Good to have JP a part of our crew.

This is a shot taken right before our buttery smooth border crossing.

Cory slept on the ground that night, next to the rig,

While Basher and Beav found more 'comfortable' accomidations inside the van.

The next morning Cory was feeling it after a good rest.

So were the arctic cats.

After a few small breakdowns, the MTNOPS crew arrived Monday night to heavy, heavy snowfall.
