TGR hosted the Saturday benefit, which drew hundreds of supports to a Jackson Hole park to party for Marc-Andre Belliveau and raise money for his medical and rehabilitation costs. He hadn't planned to come to the party, but then surprised everyone by traveling about 10 hours from Quebec City – where he is undergoing rehab – to Wyoming for the event. The party raised more than $18,000 for Belliveau.

5/27 - On Saturday May 27th Simon Evans and I slashed the never ending spring corn at Alyeska Ski Resort, located in Girdwood 30 miles south of Anchorage. Girdwood and the surrounding areas have been experiencing record breaking temperatures for this time of year and today was no exception. The forecast predicted not a cloud in site. It was one of those perfect spring skiing days- t-shirt, lasting deep snowpack, smooth snow, and that flavor in the air only late season skiing can bring. It's refreshing to be skiing while most are in summer mode--no crowds, no powder panic, hero corn snow, mid-mountain barbequing, and drinking cold beers. Alyeska, who's season snowfall total hit 710", is still boasting a healthy 145" at the summit. On Memorial day the skiing and conditions couldn't have been better. People were even catching the last chair at 5pm. The resort will be open next weekend, June 3rd and 4th. Check out alyeskaresort.com for updated conditions. - Jason Scheben
Here are a few photos from the decent Kevin Hjertass and I made on the North East face on Mt. Victoria a couple day ago. Two beautiful days. Perfect snow and weather conditions allowed us to climb and ski the 2000-foot face, with a about 6000ft of gained elevation and a top elevation around 11000ft. I have dreamed of this line for years. It was absolutely an indescribable experience an is one of the greatest ski descents I have been able to accomplish. SO STOKED! -Eric Hjorleifson
