you could just go
right across the street
and get an untouched mountain.

:15:06
This is a good example
of most ofthe runs up here.

:15:09
Steep, gnarly at the top.
You can not see
your first four or five turns.

:15:12
But once you get over that edge,
everything comes into place.

:15:15
Looks pretty steep,
that one mountain right there.

:15:18
It's always going to look steeper to your eye
when you're flying in a helicopter
or when you're looking at a photo.

:15:22
It's still going to besteep,
but not as steepas-

:15:24
To me it works opposite.
Really?.

:15:26
I get into it,
but, damn, this is steep.
This is steeper than I thought.

:15:29
That's what I'm concerned with-
going off, like, a wind lip
or something and then just-

:15:33
'Cause I've never really
landed in powder that often.
Like, landing and then rolling.

:15:38
[Perata ] Go at your own pace.
You want to come back here.
You want to ride here again next year.

:15:43
This place is gonna show you
where your limits might be.

:15:46
Just ride to your ability level.
:15:47
Which, you're all
the best riders in the world
in the freestyle genre.

:15:53
And you can be the best riders in the world
in this free-riding genre too.

:15:56
I don't know-
I've never really been in
a controlled environment...

:15:59
where I had to watch out
for upcoming stuff...

:16:03
and look forward and be, like,
"I gotta think about this before I do it"
instead of just go for it.

:16:07
Gotta actually visualize
and map it out inside my head.

:16:14
If you can see the bottom,
follow Farm.

:16:15
- If you can't see the bottom, don't follow Farm.
- [White ] Don't follow Farm.

:16:26
Alaska, to me, to my friends,
is the pinnacle of snowboarding.

:16:31
There's nothing
as big and vast and grand.

:16:34
Once we got here,
we knew that's where we wanted to be.
It was like, God, this is rad.

:16:38
Pretty much everything you can ask for,
like a big mountain rider-

:16:43
somebody who wants to have
a really good time on a snowboard.

:16:51
[Perata ] There's so many
undiscovered mountains out there still
that no one's even seen.

:16:54
It's just unfathomable
how many mountains are out there.

:16:57
[ Farmer]
Once you ride powder, you never forget it.
It's like a drug. It brings you back every time.
