I was in Alaska with the Brain Farm Cinema crew shooting for Travis Rice’s next movie. We had arrived about a week earlier but hadn’t been on the snow due to bad weather. On our fist day flying in the mountains, we were dropped off on the top of a 1000 foot vertical line. Travis looked at me and said “Serfas, you wanna go first?” Normally I would have answered YES but AK snowboarding is different. This was the first run, and we had no idea what the stability was like. I was nervous and replied, “nah you can go…” Before I finished my sentence Travis was on the move. This photo was the first turn off the trip. Looking back on it now it was a sign of what was to come. And now I really wish I did drop first!
