[ Mumbles ]
Huh?

:48:05
[Perata ]
You're gonna get a huge storm.

:48:08
You're gonna get a couple,
three, four days of clearing.
Then you're gonna get some wind.

:48:11
That's the cycle
of these mountains.

:48:13
You have to be patient,
because when it does break
it's going to be the best that you've ever had.

:48:19
You got to find things to do around here,
or you're gonna go nuts.

:48:24
As soon as Farm hears the rotors flying,
he'll be the first one dressed and ready to go.
Huh, Farm?

:48:29
That's right.
See?.

:48:31
Hopefully, it's dumping up top, up high.
I'm sure it probably is.

:48:52
I didn't know Travis was coming.
He kind of just showed up.
I'm, like, "Yeah!"

:48:56
[White ] He's a good friend of mine,
and he's an awesome rider.

:48:59
I'd heard he might have been coming,
but it's just awesome to have him here.

:49:03
[Rice ]
It's a good crew coming up here-

:49:05
Perata, Farmer, Hannah,
having Terje up here
with, like, Shaun White.

:49:09
All right, let's do it.
:49:11
[ White ]
He'll ride anything.
He's all about the backcountry.

:49:14
He can do a half-pipe contest
and slope south.

:49:18
Alaska is a place where Travis
can separate himself from other riders.

:49:24
He knows it's the best
for backcountry free-riding.

:49:35
[ Teter]
First couple days we got blue sky, finally,
after the rainy, like, cloudy storminess.

:49:40
I was so happy, you know,
just knowing that we were going up.

:49:43
Yeah! We're going up!
:49:47
[Perata ]
Now that we've had new snow,
it's made everything unstable.

:49:50
It's good 'cause we get a fresh coat,
but it's also bad 'cause it now
makes everything more dangerous.
