#9 The Local Perspective
Speaking of Haines, it takes a certain rugged individual to make this remote corner of Alaska home, which is exactly what Ryland Bell did 3 years ago. Riding these mountains all winter long gives him an unfair advantage when big mountain brethren like Jackson Hole's Cam Fitzpatrick come to visit, but Cam’s happy to play catch up. Their back-and-forth exchanges result in a snowboarding segment that more than rivals what Fostvedt and Rahlves accomplish on skis.
