In 2016, I decided I’d like to do some kind of project that involved snowboarding and photography. I had heard that people ski throughout the year in Alaska so I thought I’d like to try it. The goal was to snowboard (calling it skiing from now on) every month of the year. The challenge can be difficult because even though I live in Alaska, there’s usually no new snow between June and August, at least in the areas that I can access fairly easy. But some of the snow from the previous season persists on glaciers and in gullies, so it is possible to complete the task, at least if you’re lucky. I started the challenge in September 2016, as soon as we got the first snow of the season high up in the mountains. I completed the project in August 2017.
