Anchorage Alaska day 3 & 4!

January 18th

Waking up before the sun rise " which isn't really hard here" HaHa. Were going to  a new spot today... we kind of got lost a bit this morning, then got stuck on an icy slope with the van, HaHa You should of seen that, 4 girls in a van, not able to make it up going back and forth...  haha  it was hilarious...  some video of it will follow later on! So we decided to stop trying to make it up all the way to the top with then van and we took all our gear and hiked the little bit of the hill left.

 It was an inversion today and we were up at the top of the mountains so it was actually nice and not as cold as yesterday up there, which was really appreciated. We started setting up and then a bunch of guys from standard movie showed up to hit the same spot as us, they ended up helping us out building the set up and we hit it together... It was a pretty good day, the feature wasn't like we tough it was gonna be but we worked with it and Had lots of fun and got a couple good shots out of it.

 My board got shaved down from the sharp roof, but it was worth it, ill fix it up later on tonight! Just gonna take it easy tonight since we Have a big day of hiking in the backcountry tomorrow! 

January 19th

Today is a backcountry day, Danyale's dad is bringing us to Turnagain pass , were going to ride Tin Can mountain. We first went and got some backcountry gear from a little shop near Aleyeska, the drive to the pass was unreal, so beautifull. We saw some montain goats on the side of the highway, so cute... 

Alright so we got to te spot to start hiking from, beacon's on and it's time to start our hike. It was a 2200 feet hike and we were gonna be at about 5500 feet above sea level. Highest mountain I've ever been on that's for sure! We ended up not needing our snow shoes cause the skin track was hard enough so we didn't sink in. 

It was a beautifull hike, the mountains surrunding us the whole way up there, we stopped a bit for a snack to get some energy in since we did spent a lot hiking up. Jake had some smoked salmon that he caught himself and got smoked somewhere in indian pass i think... Wow  Best salmon I've ever ate, it was so delicious...

When we got to the top, well the top of where we ended up cause there was still a little bit before the top top...  We ended up building a little jump, pretty small but we had a  lot of fun on it. I thumbled a couple times, haha! I didn't know how hard it was to land switch in pow since today..  haha

Such a good experience. The ride down was really fun too, it was getting dark and cold so we just rode down and enjoyed our ride. All of our cameras were dead anyway... 

We got back to Danyale's place and her mom has cooked us a delicious dinner, we were all very hungry and tired from our day.

We were gonna have a chill night but then at the last minute we decided to go meet up with Danyale's friends that were hitting a Down flat down ledge . It was really cold out & the drop in for the feature was kind of sketchy, but the boys still killed it with some switch frontboard thru the kink and fifty 3's out... We were being pussy about the feature and then just before we were gonna leave, I decided that I couldn't leave without hitting this  so I got strapped in, speed checked a couple times then just hit it.

I tried it twice, I didn't really get any shots from it but I was just glad I did it. 

We then went to the boy's house, played pool & drank beer... Gonna sleep in tomorrow I believe!
