Taking the hectic gnarl out of their riding, the Patagonia snowboard team spends some quality time up in AK.

During the record setting 2012 season in AK, Juneau native Ryland Bell invites friends and fellow Patagonia ambassadors Forrest Shearer, Josh Dirksen and Alex Yoder on a trip to experience his local turf, and shred off the chart snow totals. Expecting to face the challenge of riding in the monster storms that had been pounding Juneau’s coast almost non-stop for the entire season, the crew gets lucky, landing a perfect weather window and getting their fill of a season’s worth of pitch perfect pow under bluebird skies. 
Filmed by Sweetgrass Productions with their upcoming 2013 feature film ‘Valhalla’.
