Glacier Cruise in Valdez, Alaska - 2015
Olsen and King family vacation through Alaska! One of our first stops was Valdez for a beautiful cruise through Prince William Sound. We saw tons of wildlife including sea otters, harbor seals, sea lions, Orca Whales, porpoise, eagles, puffins, and more! Also, we watched Meares glacier come alive as huge pieces of ice crashed into the water in front of us. It was an amazing day spent with even more amazing people.

Back To The Present: Part One - Valdez, Alaska
As the first splitboarder to earn full ACMG lead guiding certification and a handpicked heli guide for pro snowboarders from Travis Rice to Jeremy Jones, Scott Newsome is a bit of a legend in the Canadian snowboard ranks. Newsome was raised in Lake Louise, Alberta, and earned his stripes as a Whistler-based pro, then migrated back to the stacked peaks, unlimited touring, and deep snowfalls of the Canadian interior, where he started his guiding career at Cat Powder, his family’s Revelstoke-based cat-skiing operation.
Newsome’s long splitboard rise through the ACMG Guide ranks began in the skintrack mecca of Rogers Pass and culminated nearly a decade later when he became the first Canadian to earn ACMG full guide certification in 2011. His current day job is VP of Operations and Lead Guide for Eagle Pass Heli, a heli-skiing op with 270,000 acres of prime stacked tenure in the heart of the Monashee Mountains, which has hosted pro film crews from Absinthe Films and Red Bull Media House to Poor Boyz Productions and Legs of Steel.
Eighteen years after he first look at the mountains of Thompson Pass in Valdez, Alaska, Scott returns to the state of the last frontier with snowboard guide, Chris Coulter, to revisit some of the peaks where Newsome cut his teeth on the pro circuit.

Alaska Adventure | Day 45 | Swan lake forest fire, Hwy re-opens
Getting ready to head out from Sterling, AK where we stayed at Morgan's Landing State Recreation camp site. We stayed here for the night due to the Sterling Hwy being closed (btw mile 55-75) due to the Swan Lake fire, in the direction of Valdez, AK.
But, as we drive a mile or two on the Sterling Hwy, it becomes obvious that the forest fires are still in progress and traffic is going to progress slowly. There were active fires on the edge of the road and smoke was light to heavy for many miles.
Up to Cooper landing the fires took many pine trees as they were falling due to the lack of underbrush to hold their root fast. Traffic kept moving as a snails pace in spots but quickly is less smokey areas.
North of Girdwood the valleys were filled with smoke, and as we arrived in Anchorage we could see the effects of the McKinley fire that had taken 55 structures already. The entire area was smoke filled with visibility 1/2 mile in some locations. The moutain tops had disappeared and valleys were completely filled with smoke.
