Whats up NS. So I'm a 20 year old skier from AK heading down on a road trip across the pacific northwest and I'm putting together a video of the whole event. I'm looking for some gnarly riders who are down to get some shots on the way. If you know the backcountry of the area you are in and are down to show me around thats even better! I'm looking to make this trip the most epic event of my life so far. From backcountry to park I love it all and would love to meet up with you! -Julian

I'm planning on going through from Crystal and Snoqualmie in Washington down to Mt. Bachelor in oregon for a while then down to Tahoe for a period of time, cutting back up going through SLC skiing Brighton and hopefully Alta if I can find a hookup for cheap passes there. After that I'm headed into CO to grab some backcountry/sidecountry shots in steamboat and the surrounding area. After that I'll spend about one or two weeks at keystone and copper shredding park. Than its to Tao's NM for competition in the FWT giving everything is rolling smoothly than back up through CO and SLC and head back up through Idaho and Wyoming potentially stopping in the Tetons if I can find a group that knows what they're doing in the bc. After its up to Big Sky in MT and I may go through Whitefish as well. From there its back to Mt Baker for some backcountry with some friends of mine from home. Finally ending with a trip bypassing home to Haines AK

I am in the Tetons. I often pretend to know what I am doing.

I regularly look like an idiot in front of the camera push lots of buttons behind it

I have a couch in Driggs and perhaps a discount at Targhee+backcountry knowledge, hit me up. Unless I'm out of town for work I'm always stoked to shred

Try Arizona Snowbowl. Pretty good park with a wide range of features. Tons of extra snow for the park crew to go real big this year. Amazing views. Real good backcountry. Short lines. Cheap tickets only $50-65 for the day. Great friendly locals if you arent from Phoenix.

If you come through Hood, you might be able to meet up with Scrappy if he's in town.
