Date: April 19th 2009
Rider: Wyatt Caldwell, Elliot Levitt, Mark Dangler, Johnny Centi
Location: A.B.A Bonfire – Thompson Pass- Valdez, Alaska.

This weeks quick Memory Bank photo set is dug up from our last night on Thompson Pass in April 09.  This was a perfect crisp night to wind down our Alaskan experience gathering with everyone in camp around the large bonfire sharing stories, laughing and finishing off the rest of the Alaskan Brew stock.  Great night to end our three week stay in AK.

All photos taken with canon G10 and processed in Lightroom. {click photos to enlarge}

I filmed a bunch more stuff from AK so stay tuned for a few more of these short videos coming soon!

Unfortunately not having a remote trigger or a timer remote controller I was left with my in camera 30 second exposure.  Although I wasn’t able to get some really long exposures I was happy with what I was able to get under the time limit circumstances.  Below are just a couple of my favorites from the trip including the first photo set of multiple self portraits taken around the ABA base camp where I popped myself with my g10. Second photo is of the Moon rising over The Books Mtn Range and the third photo a panoramic shot of ABA base camp under a full moon.

The things I learned and experiences I had blew away any thing else I have ever done in my 13 years of snowboarding.  My only regrets being not snowboarding as much as I would have liked and not being able riding a true AK line for myself.  But every one I shot sure got some and more.  I was stoked to just watch, shoot and have the chance to be in this incredible place.  Hopefully someday I will make it up there again!

We broke the trip in to two featured stories.  Part One being all snowmobile accessed zones on Thompson Pass and Part Two being all zones accessed by a heli.  Click below to check out my photo galleries and the very smooth edit by Mark Dangler from the SNOWREV AK trip.
