Video makes it look pretty windless. I have a buddy that wants to do an AK trip and the plane dropoff into the high glacier area is exactly my dream. Being able to combo incredible gravity drops + kite that type of area would … well … its THE dream for me.

I’ve been wanting to hit up Haines for a long time! Maybe next year!Was the $400 flight to drop you off and pick you up?we were out for 10 days. The only reason we left was that it warmed up so much and we needed to move spots, so we went back to town to wait it out but we ran out of…[Read more] wilkez replied to the topic Haines, AK in the forum Trip Reports 10 years agoNope it was all on the plane ride. We were in Haines…it didn’t look like the access from town was very good (huge mountains and starting at sea level). Some locals told us they tree ski around town, but I don’t think you can get into the goods very easily. We drove up thru Haines Pass on our way back to BC, and it looked decent, but nothing…[Read more] wilkez replied to the topic Haines, AK in the forum Trip Reports 10 years, 2 months ago@D-GREEN wrote:Sweet Video! Definitely worth the watch, and wait. Saw a couple of spots where you could have/should have aired it out… But I know it’s a lot easier said than done, no room for error when you’re out there. Actually getting out there and riding that stuff makes you respect the pros that much more. I always visualize myself…[Read more] wilkez replied to the topic AK – 2012 Spring Photoshow in the forum Trip Reports 10 years, 3 months agoEpic dude. Amazing pics and lines.I think you must have flown with drake at the same time we were there…IrishGav and I spent 10 days out on the cushing glacier.

One thing that has helped us on our adventures this year is VHF radios. It’s still tough for the first person, but at least your second person can get a spot from the bottom. wilkez replied to the topic Duffy, spring 2012 in the forum Trip Reports 10 years, 4 months agoYeah dude!Did you take a look at slalok this year? How is the coverage for that this year? Definitely get it if you can. 1000m vert to the lake. wilkez replied to the topic Cambria Icefield Basecamp March 16-19 Northern BC in the forum Trip Reports 10 years, 4 months ago@barrows wrote:Gav: awesome stoke man, thanks for sharing. I have always been interested in the Coast Mountains, but the chances of scheduling a trip from Colorado and hitting the necessary weather window to make big lines happen has discouraged me.

I’m sure there are a lot of K owners on here who want to know exactly how they failed. I don’t think you’re intentionally misleading people, I just think your story wasn’t clear as to what happened with the product exactly. So was your lever opened after you stopped and inspected it?

It works – and it works well. I have been riding the puck system for 5 years and never had a problem.
