From skipowd.tv :

Colby Stevenson brings his technical park background to the massive terrain of Valdez, Alaska. Navigating steep faces and big lines during a clear window in April 2021, he blends freestyle precision with backcountry exploration. Within these descents, high-consequence mountain features meet technical park tricks. Every frame captured by Jeff Cricco highlights the shift from slopestyle competition to charging remote Alaskan peaks.
