How is this possible? Skiing with Kai Jones in paradise

Спорт

While on a film shoot with ‪@tetongravityresearch‬ in Alaska in the beginning of March, we had the pleasure of skiing at Alyeska resort on our down days. Alyeska is a ripping ski hill with a ton of fun terrain. The north face of the mountain is around 2000' vert of consistent fall line skiing, and the rest of the mountain is rolling terrain that is feature rich, and super fun. On top of that there is a tram that takes you right from the hotel directly to the goods.
Following Kai around was a blast, we had some chalky runs early in the trip and then on the last day we were in town, we awoke to a sunny pow day to cap it all off! Special Thanks to Alyeska Resort, TGR, and Atomic for the good times.

    Hes a amazing skier, and his attitude and perspective is super good on top of that. It was so good getting to spend a few weeks together. This guy truly has a deep love of sport and great vibe.

    Great to hear. Tibia plateau fractures are BRUTAL. They rehab slowly and cautiously, so it's rad to see him bending skis again. @@sagePerspective

    Awsome! I skied Alyeska for 9 seasons, and know all those hits! I was hoping to see something on picnik rock but it didn't really look set up at all when you skied past it.
