Nick Devore came through Utah back in January. We got him into the editing room to talk about his time in Haines, AK skiing steep spines and camping on a glacier. Check it out, click on full screen and HD to really get the best experience.
The goal of the day was to go ski some bigger lines since we had a somewhat stable snowpack and blue skies.

Jake Sakson flying through the top of his line.
We had a rain event back in January in the Wasatch that has left a very firm ice layer that is sometimes hidden and sometimes not.
Jake found a patch of ice and went head over heels.
Ouch.
It was brutal.
Finally he stopped. He was fine, and just had to make the hike of shame to recover his ski and pole. Good thing he's only 20.
Noah Howell was still up top and got to hear about the crash, so being the seasoned veteran he took his line a little mellower then Jake.

The Pfeiff!
We wrapped around the corner from what we’d been skiing in hopes to find a little less wind jacked terrain.

The clouds rolled in and we left for the day. It was a beautiful day.
