FLY LIKE AN EAGLE EAGLECREST: IT’S NOT JUST A “SKI HILL”
WORDS AND PHOTOS: TONY HARRINGTON
Before I get into this story I have to make a confession. I love Alaska. I’m all in and it’s been a love affair that’s been going on for quite a while now. For me, my annual Alaskan pilgrimage is my Christmas and New Year all tied up in a bow. I work year-round with the goal of getting to Alaska in March to early April for my yearly dose. It’s my time to be immersed into its wild landscape, the pure and rugged beauty, the remoteness of its lands, the authentic ‘no bullsh*t’ culture and straightforward friendships of the people who live there. It really is unlike anywhere else in the world I’ve experienced; certainly a last frontier that any adventurous and competent skier should try at least once. Although a warning, once you experience Alaska you may measure all other ski experiences against it and they could come up wanting. Left: Max Bardas soaring like an eagle 135
