First Descent

1:33:02

Yeah, Terje's gonna have a real good look
at 7601 and probably ride it.

1:33:06

So, we would like the second group
to come out right now
and come over to "F" top.

1:33:11

[ Man On Radio ]
Copy that. Second group
coming out to "F" top.

1:33:14

Yeah, Terje, that looks sick.

1:33:17

Terje's, like, "I'm going back
to that one. I'm doing it."

1:33:20

Me and Farm are, like, "What??"

1:33:27

[Haakonsen ]
The conditions were right.
There was a bigline.

1:33:30

Just got to jump on it when you can.
Definitely needed a long run
before I could leave Alaska.

1:33:35

[ White ]
When nobody's ever done something,
and it's a descent...

1:33:37

or you don't know whether it's gonna
avalanche or not, it's really sketchy.

1:33:43

If you mess up, it's, like,
big consequences, you know.

1:33:48

[ Perata ]
Whenever you're doing the grand finale,
the biggest peak or the gnarliest line,

1:33:52

you have to have mental toughness.

1:33:54

And one of the mental toughest
snowboarders I know is Terje.

1:33:59

Terje Haakonsen's on top
of that peak right there.
It's called 7601.

1:34:04

I think that's how high it is-
7,000.

1:34:07

It's gonna be a first descent.

1:34:10

[ Perata ]
It's really gnarly up there.

1:34:12

I mean,
it's looking 60 degrees at the top
just to get on the chute.

1:34:19

I know he was gripped.
You have to be gripped on top of that.

1:34:23

[Man ] Five, four, three,
He's gonna rip it, man.
He's a good snowboarder.

1:34:26

two, one!
