Valdez, AK Report: Popping A Wheelie on Long Powder Spines in Sun & Shade

Miles Clark | | Post Tag for Conditions ReportConditions Report

Report from April 8, 2023

Saturday was our last day with 3 world cup skiers (Travis Ganong, Steven Nyman, Marie Gagnon) and our old buddy Jeff with Pulseline Adventure.

It was a big powder day and we headed out to a mellow spine zone that always skis like a dream.

Travis and I had skied out here the previous year.

We skied 4 runs in this zone and loved it.

We skied one big run off the Stephens Glacier on the way home.

They had a flight at 3pm and they just made it.

Whatta day!

We skied 5 of 7 days while they were hear and saw a ton of different terrain.

Thanks, Jeff!
