'The Desert River': Big Mountain Skiing in Alaska

by: Justin Gural

Every spring in Haines, Alaska, a river bulges and rages towards the sea, fed by the thawing of a massive mountain snowpack. These same mountains fuel the hunger of those willing to test their skills against the desolate white beauty of Alaska's high desert - giving life to river and skier alike.
