Ian Provo, in collaboration with this brother Neil, is embarking on a mission to AK this spring in search of some of the best skiing and fishing in the world. Here’s what Ian had to say about the project:
Just over a decade ago, my brother Neil and I began a new life in Utah and started down a path that we knew would someday lead us to places like British Columbia and Alaska. This spring we have a plan to travel further north on the path than we’ve ever been before, to experience the greatest big mountain riding and steelhead fishing the world has to offer, in one journey.
Sometime in March we will begin our long drive to the mountainous spine riding capitol of the world, Haines, AK. Our goal here is to make our first turns down an Alaskan mountain, while participating in an expedition with six others who are also on the same path (more on this expedition later…)
After what is hopefully a successful ski trip, we’ll begin part two of the quest and hopefully bring another lifelong dream to reality. This part involves taking a ferry from Haines down through the North Coast of B.C, eventually arriving in Prince Rupert, British Columbia. It is here where we enter the most fabled steelheading waters on the planet. We will explore the Skeena and its tributaries, and our timing should be perfect for the spring return of the wild steelhead.
I’m really hopeful that this will evolve into our greatest film project yet, but with any self supported project there will certainly be obstacles along the way. We’re going to need all the help we can get! feel free to contact me (ijprovo at hotmail.com) for more information…

In case you missed the memo, Tanner Hall has been dominating practice runs in Aspen all week and routing for his teammates at the events. Although he is not competing in this year’s event, his pipe skiing is downright flawless and it’s absolutely incredible to witness the greatest comeback in skiings’ history.
