Haines, Alaska - March 2002 - Red Bull Snowthrill of Alaska. A group of 12 of the world's best skiers, coupled with 12 of the world's top ski photographers, converged to conquer terrain that many dream about and few have seen in person. With $35,000 in prize money at stake, each team had four hours of heli time over eight days of competition to capture the best skiing images.
Imagine having a once in a lifetime opportunity…going to a place that is so remote, it takes a helicopter to get you there…descending the mountain with innumerable tons of snow and ice chasing you. We offer this book for your review and enjoyment, a visual journey chronicling the stunning adventure of Red Bull Snowthrill of Alaska.

Never
before has a competition of this nature been
held; no finish line, no stopwatch, only foreboding
mountains, avalanche dodging, and every ounce
of talent, teamwork and strategy that could
be mustered; the only goal to visually capture
the essence of an indefinable feeling.
