If you travel into avalanche terrain without the correct knowledge and equipment, you can kill yourself or others in the area.

Part 1 of 4: Goldpan, Turnagain Pass, Alaska Every year team rider Josh Randich invites us up but every spring we get wadded up and can’t break free. This year we decided to pull the trigger early, at a time when arguably the Wasatch and Tetons are at a historical height, not to mention whats happening in Japan, to get a different perspective on AK. Josh has been teasing us with glistening maritime south facing features for years and its time we get up close and amplify the high times found in the Chugach mid season. Our shred crew consisted of Josh and Wiley Miller. Austin Ramaley, Carson Meyer and myself were there to capture the action. We arrived February 1st and we spent 4 of the next 6 consecutive days climbing south facing spine walls right off the road. Only in AK and for only 1 week, we were living the dream!

4FRNT and Kirkwood mountain are set to host yet another year of freeriding and fun at Kirkwood mountain resort for the second annual 'Twisted Sisters'. A freeskiing competition, featuring jumps and natural terrain for all ranges of difficulty, ability and gnarlyness. Come out and shred with some of the hottest names in the freeride scene or just come out to enjoy the sunshine and good times. Thanks to all our sponsors, both old and new. Shred on!!!!! See you all out there.
The only worthy roof for the talents of Eric Hjorleifson and Thayne Rich is in a backcountry touring hut, where life remains primitive and the skiing, well, radical. This is a complete 4FRNT adventure with great disparity between top talents, each driven to create content from alternating perspectives. What happens when you put the GAH poster boy (Hoji) in a hut with a rookie like Thayne? Does the puppy breathe life into the old dog? Does he fall in line, one kick turn at a time? The 2-part Meadow Lodge documents a 3-day adventure with Eric and Thayne in The Esplanades, an eastern sub range of The Columbia’s where the terrain flows east to the Columbia Rivers’ Kinbasket Lake. Enjoy the crafts of these two backcountry skiers as they literally ski from the door of Meadow Lodge down fluted spines, endless pillows and perfectly gladed tree runs.
