I came her to see powder riding all the time but I leave this video with the dream of snowboarding there, even though I'm from Europe and Alaska seems so far away. It has always been in my bucket list, but hearing that it's actually possible to do as a non pro snowboarder just hyped me so much. Thank you
After a horrible snowboarding injury 3 years ago, I’m finally able to ride again this year, and this video just reminded me how much I love snowboarding! Thank you
Amazing video. Years ago my wife and I were in north Italy right over the mountains from Switzerland, unfortunately the weather was shit so we didn’t get to ride but we still had a blast.
i'm still kicking myself that I didn't hit up the 60% off heli trips during lockdown, but it was such a gamble what was going to get shut down or not. Appreciate the video.
Nice vid. Heard the weather is fucking horrible most of the time and you could wait a week and never ride. How many days riding have you averaged over your 4 weeks?
$11,000 for 1 person... Don't get me wrong, probably some of the best snow, and most fun you could have, but I'll take a season pass at every resort in the west coast for the same price and have leftover money for gear...
Whole different experience and not necessarily something everyone is down for but I’m kinda a trip guy and like to spend my money on stuff like this or on surf trips.
Don’t think this is really selling out…. A snowboard filmmaker who’s had a lifelong dream of filming snowboarding gets to make an amazing video for a company that aligns with what he does. He’s not out here running Ikon pass ads. I personally have no way to go to AK anytime soon but this was a super awesome video to just enjoy for what it is.
@@JohnDoe-mq4sq Appreciate you boss! People like to get all offended the second you promote something... I had a dream of going to AK from when I was 14 and with ABG helping on the film projects we worked out a deal to get me up there last season as a client. No one sees the 3 weeks of post production it took to make this video what it is. Also I believe the information in this video is extremely valuable because as a kid I never understood how it worked up there. I tried to relay all the critical info I was looking for back in the day.
@@GimbalGod Dude it’s unreal. Stupid cheap. So close to home. Definitely not Alaska, but exceptional snow and terrain. I want to do it again. Have you ever done Baldface/Valhalla cat trip?
Glad you cleared that up about the scale of the mountains & accessibility for all levels of experience! Definitely makes sense thoo seeing how many mountains they have lol
Figured this video was a fun way to give some insight into something I always wondered about as a kid. The information isn't necessarily just out there and easy to find

Thank you for supporting and dreaming with me! Been fun getting this channel built

Stick with it. Blew a disc in 2021, took me almost 2 full years to get off green runs and get my mobility back.
I do wish i had 11k to spend on this 😂
Fucking me tooo. But always love to dream and hustle haha
Go save up for the love of it. I'm going gotta make some sacrifice!
Man.... new dream unlocked. I dunno why, but this video low key made me emotional. Want to do something like this so incredibly bad.
First step in fulfilling a dream is realizing it’s a possibility:)
Thank you for this beautiful insight and wonderful scenery.... ❤ now I have another box on my checklist to tick! 😅
Really good informational video on how heli skiing in Alaska works.
Thank you! Stoked to hear that
thanks for portraying Alaska from the clients side. almost made me choke-up i felt that it was so generous.
Appreciate you! That was the goal. Very stoked you enjoyed it
Amazing video. Years ago my wife and I were in north Italy right over the mountains from Switzerland, unfortunately the weather was shit so we didn’t get to ride but we still had a blast.
This is exactly the kind of info I was looking for regarding AK. Thinking about hitting this up for a 45th birthday trip in a few years.
There we go! ABG is a solid option. Stoked to get the information out there
looking like Gimbal Godfather these days
Haha whenever I'm away from the lady I grow it out
Bro so helpful! Thank you for this video! A trip like this has been on my bucket list since I was a grom!
Same here! I put it on my bucket list when I was 14 and finally made it happen last year. You can too!
This looks absolutely incredible. Could not imagine seeing those mountain ranges in person.
Been addicted ever since I saw it. Once in a lifetime opportunities up there
Great videos, where is the best place you have shredded?
i'm still kicking myself that I didn't hit up the 60% off heli trips during lockdown, but it was such a gamble what was going to get shut down or not. Appreciate the video.
For sure, I feel ya. Thank you hope it opened up some insight into what is a pretty exclusive club
Looking forward to more footage with your new go pro 😎
:) me too!
Spenneh, what board are you featuring here? I enjoyed this video. Thank you!
I am on the Turbo 164W. Been my new go-to
Nice vid. Heard the weather is fucking horrible most of the time and you could wait a week and never ride. How many days riding have you averaged over your 4 weeks?
Weather is very hit or miss in Valdez, but when it's good, it's killer!
This is 100% true. Think I rode maybe 8 days of 21 booked last year
Hey I had a similar experience with cat skinning where I stayed at a lodge with k3 in revvy. Super professional and cater to you, loved it so much
I've heard that place is awesome. Glad ya had a great time!
lets go Gimby!
What is that music ? If it's somewhere in video or description i missed it (and am missing it)
im looking for it too lmao
More of these
Gonna start doing more series, face forward, scripted videos I've been brainstorming in addition to the action packed goods. Glad ya liked!
Sick ad bro! Guessing you'll get a massive discount on your next trip.
They’ve helped us out a ton in the past. But there’s not much discounts in the AK game… helicopters cost $$$
So many dreams in Alaska❤
The land of dreams and nightmares
I need my house for a few years.. Then I'll sell it to fund one of these experiences ❤
That’s what I would do!!
@@GimbalGod I'm lucky I've shreddable hills and mountains outside my door. But it's not Alaska.

Speaking of guides spenny one was killed by avalanche in New Zealand Wednesday at methven heliski, we had him as a guide 2 months ago great guy sad
Oh my… so so sorry. That’s terrible. May he rest in peace. Sending love ❤️
@@GimbalGod only had him for 1 day he would have been the last guy I would have thought to get caught in an avalanche.
So dope
Thank ya my friend
damn I hope one day I have enough money and enough amount of friends to go this kinda trip :D
It’s the dream trip and like anything in life worth doing… always better money spent on memories and good times with good people
So good
:) appreciate you guys!
“This video is sponsored by Sally’s pastries”
Haha literally. Look forward to them every spring:)
Let me know if you come up to valdez this year I’m willing to take you up on a snowmachine and I can also show you the road run
Legend I will!
bro straight yapping
Is this called selling out?
@@Muginte sold out a long time ago my friend 😅

If you don’t have the money, North Cascades Heli is way more affordable. Washington State. 400k acres.
Hoping to get over there one of these days only have heard great things
@@GimbalGod Dude it’s unreal. Stupid cheap. So close to home. Definitely not Alaska, but exceptional snow and terrain. I want to do it again.
Have you ever done Baldface/Valhalla cat trip?
I came here in hopes of seeing more snowboarding.
There’s a lot of it on this channel.
My financial plans are going to be ruined by this video 😅
As are mine hahaha
Dayummm
:)
All it takes is a lot of money😂😂
As is most of the amazing things in life. But if I came from nothing and made it happen you can too. I'm a dreamer:)
Alaska is always windboard. Its terrible here.
Debatable
Gorgeous runs! Accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior and repent of your sins :)
stop telling people to go to alaska leave us alone.
Sorry, not sorry. It’s already blown bud.
@@GimbalGod if it was blown there would be no need to tell people to go. they’d already be going…
@@patrickcoyne1292 well i am stoked on the video. Don’t think it’s gonna crowd anywhere you’re going to be going if you know where to go
