IndiaAthletes: Lynsey Dyer, Lel Tone
Equipment: Skis, Helicopter
It only takes twenty-eight hours and four commercial flights to get to Indian Kashmir. Big-mountain powerhouses Lel Tone and Lynsey Dyer will tell you that it is well worth the trip. An experienced Alaska heli-ski guide and Squaw Valley ski patroller, Lel is well versed in our North American ranges. Lynsey Dyer is a renowned American freeskier who has dominated the big-mountain competition circuit for years. Join Lel and Lynsey as they take on the world’s highest mountain system and add a notch to their belts for the Himalayas. While these ladies may stick out as assumed American sweethearts against this rugged landscape, they tackle these uncharted mountains with verve and fearlessness…leaving us to bask in their perfect first descents on some of the world’s most secluded terrain. When they aren’t up on Kashmir’s daunting peaks, they are down in Gulmarg’s pristine resort meadow, ripping turns with the locals and discovering common ground on the snow-covered mountainside. Although they are far from home, they find solace in the snow. As Lynsey explains, “[you can] come to someplace so foreign and still feel completely at home. Other people…may not speak your language. But, you can look them in the eye and know that they know how the mountains work. And so do you. And so, you have that bond.” The scenery will leave you speechless and the lines will take your breath away. You didn’t think you could go heli-ski in the Himalayas? Well, you can.
Squaw Valley, CaliforniaAthletes: Tom Day, Tim Dutton, JT Holmes, Jonny Moseley, Jack Moseley, Michelle Parker, Jack Walsh, Mike Wilson
Equipment: Skis
Go behind-the-scenes of a Warren Miller film shoot in Squaw Valley, California, with veteran ski-film cinematographer, Tom Day. When Tom got his start in the Olympic Valley more than thirty years ago, he had no idea that making turns with legends like Scot Schmitt would lay the foundation for him to become part of the Warren Miller family. Tom has been around Squaw long enough to see full generations of skiers and riders take on the mountain, but he has never seen a winter with over eight hundred inches of snow…until now. Lucky for us, Tom is out there every minute, capturing incredible powder turns laid down by Squaw’s finest, including established rippers like Jonny Moseley, Tim Dutton, JT Holmes and Michelle Parker. As Michele
describes, “when it snows in the Sierras, it comes down hard…in multiple, multiple feet.” The never-ending snowfall actually worked these seasoned snow riders to their core, but they never stopped to rest because as JT explains, “it’s just so good, you can’t say no.”

Athletes: Chris Davenport, Hugo Harrisson
Equipment: Skis, Mountaineering Gear
Carved into the eastern face of New England’s White Mountains is a remote corner of legendary Mount Washington – Tuckerman Ravine, otherwise known to the East Coast ski community as, The Real Deal. Generations of East Coast skiers have proven themselves as expert big-mountain riders in this canyon, and world-renowned ski mountaineer, Chris Davenport, is no exception. The terrain is remarkably rugged, with hurricane-force winds ripping across icy pitches that would intimidate any experienced mountaineer, and Chris has been ripping down these windblown peaks since he was a kid. Mount Washington demands respect and requires advanced technical skills, and Chris is happy to share this trip back to his childhood stomping grounds with fellow big-mountain rider, Hugo Harrisson. This trip offers a full dose of the area’s unmatched erratic weather and gnarly landscape. Watch as Chris and Hugo test their abilities on Tuckerman’s incredibly steep pitches and show us that even champions practice fundamentals when faced with nature’s most impressive obstacles. As Davenport puts it frankly, “If you can ski this, you can ski anywhere.”

Monashees, British Columbia
Athletes: Andy Mahre, Tyler Ceccanti, Yeti
Equipment: Skis, Helicopter
“The key to life is to live each day like it’s your last day. If you’re sitting on the couch, you’re obviously not riding powder, so maybe you should get off the couch…” enlightens recognized freeskier, Andy Mahre. Point taken. Join Andy as he practices what he preaches in the Monashee Range, deep in the interior of British Columbia. He brings Tyler Ceccanti along for the ride, and they spend bottomless days in the Monashees, buried in the Pacific Northwest’s finest powder. These big-mountain moguls chase each other down steep and demanding tree runs at an incredible pace, floating through pillows of untouched powder the whole way down. Chutes, pillows, cliffs, trees and endless deep snow all come together to create the ultimate leg-burner runs for this fearless twosome. There is so much snow that they can send anything without a care in the world. Their only real concern is the eerie presence of a curious man-beast, The Yeti, who seems to be following Andy all over the mountains. It is fine with Andy if The Yeti wants to hangout, but poaching his lines is another story…
New Zealand
Athletes: Sam Smoothy, Ted Davenport
Equipment: Skis, Helicopter, Speed Riding Canopy, Sheep’s Wool
Some people would have no problem traveling halfway across the world to go skiing…if it meant that they didn’t have to share the mountain on a powder day. Ted Davenport is one of those people. Join Ted and New Zealand local, Sam Smoothy, as they stretch out in New Zealand’s secluded powder stashes. There are 300 miles of mountains dominating this tiny island’s landscape, and Sam describes the setting with humility; “It’s a small island with a lot of mountains, in the middle of nowhere. Really young, jagged peaks, full of steeps, and really demanding with how quickly [the weather] can change and how unpredictable it is.” It is just the two of them on top of a striking summit…with nothing but thirty million sheep far below. The scenery is breathtaking, and it quickly becomes clear why New Zealand’s South Island is marked as one of the world’s top adventure destinations. Helicopters pick up this lucky duo on dry ground and deliver them to snow-covered peaks within minutes. They bomb down New Zealand’s steepest with a true sense of artistry, leaving us with perfect powder lines that are only interrupted by an occasional cliff huck. The contrast in the landscape is one that only New Zealand can boast, with crystal blue waters lapping onto the shores of the massive Southern Alps, all set against a backdrop of neon-green countryside and textbook bluebird skies.

Cordova, Alaska
Athletes: Seth Wescott, Tim Durtschi, Kip Garre
Equipment: Skis, Snowboard, Helicopter
The sites of Alaska are quite familiar to the Warren Miller crew. Awe-inspiring steeps, matchless features and endless powder have become regular fixtures on trips to Points North Heli-Adventures. And the cameras never ceases to discover untouched faces and unparalleled runs, tucked away in the nooks and crannies of Cordova’s massive landscape. Olympic Gold Medalist Seth Wescott is a snowboarding veteran of these mountains. Seth unleashes his creativity on their endless spines and challenges gravity to a duel on their humbling steeps, leaving us to wonder why Seth ever spent time on the course. Tim Durtschi is new to the Points North family, but he skis the place like a regular, taking incisive turns down completely vertical sheets of fresh snow. They scout the Chugach landscape searching for the perfect line…and when they find it, they ski it with full force. This trip is bitter sweet for Tim and Seth. It will be their last trip with longtime Points North guide, accomplished skiing mountaineer and close friend, Kip Garre. Kip passed away in a ski accident last spring, and he will forever be missed in Alaska and beyond. Kip lived and skied every moment with the commitment and passion of a true mountain spirit. As Seth explains, “It doesn’t matter what’s going to happen tomorrow because you are living for the moment…and you are totally engrossed in it…and you are loving being there and being present like that. People who commit themselves to this lifestyle take advantage of it…like there might not be a tomorrow.”
