Valdez, AK - Woke up at 6:45 this morning. For the first time this trip it was wall-to-wall blue. Today is the kind of day that is very rare in the Chugach. Today is the kind of day that powder riders and big mountain riders live for... more on this tonight.

Tailgate Alaska Blues Up
Mark Sullivan
Each day so far has presented windows of blue and each day crews of riders have gone out by sled and heli. Crews have departed the base camp and headed out to the front country directly above our base camp to peaks like Bro Bowl, Python, Skatepark, The Berlin Wall, Python and others. Each evening celebrated over a cold Alaskan Amber.
Today is different. Today is BLUE.
