    So this is basically the same moves as in roller or ice skating? I did not know that.

      We were in AK in 2018 and visited Hatcher Pass. Found a small snow field for our Lab to roll in and we all were dreaming how great it would be to ski there!!! :)

      So provocative question😆! Surely I would like to try the best tracks of Finland and Norway, but at least Top of Thea, Syktyvkar, Kyrovsk in my native Russia are also very attractive. And after watching this video, Alaska seems something unreal and amazing like a fairy tale 🤗. Maybe someday 😋

      @@eric.packer Hatcher Pass is one of my most favorite places on earth; it's just... there's just something really special about it; can't explain it. I had a beautiful white wolf come up over the edge of a hill, right in front of me about 50' away. I never got scared one bit; she just looked at me for a second and was gone. BTW, epic video; looks like you had the Red Bull videographers film it.

      @@GibsonTriniLopez Thanks, it was a really fun project to work on! I had a similar experience at Hatcher Pass (actually on one of the skis featured in another video). Skiing with a teammates, we came over a rise and saw two wolves. A second later two additional wolves appeared, and all four wolves started trotting toward us. It was a bit of a tense moment. Two more of my teammates came over the rise, and when the wolves saw that there were four skiers, they scattered. Sadly, I didn't get any video of it.
