A photo gallery from Chris Benchetler of his '07/'08 winter season.
Last week, K2 Skis and Snowboards more or less “rented” Baker for three days. They invited 300-plus shop employees from 13 countries along with pros from K2 Skis and Snowboards. For the story that accompanies these photos go HERE.
A typical day in Haines, Alaska involves getting up as dawn breaks over Lynn Canal. A visual inspection of the weather situation and some phone calls render one of two things: throw all your gear on and bust-ass to the heli pick-up or climb back in bed for another few hours.

It’s definitely warmer here. The language has changed some, too. More Italian, probably some Romange, if I knew what Romange actually sounds like. Or how to spell it. It’s my last day with the Liberty skis crew. Once we’re done here, I hop a train to Zurich where I’ll stay up all night singing the praises of F.C. Zurich in a football bar called Big Ben, then board a plane back to L.A.
The lines are more boney here, the snow much more thin. But these mountains are big, and I look around wide-eyed at the possibilities. On my last day, only Tom and Alex venture into anything aggressive. Afterwards, we work some low angle powder and hit some small rocks on our way down to the apres bar. It’s been an awesome trip, but spring is here. It’s time to go home.
