There is a reason Alaska changes everyone who comes here. I tried to prepare myself. I've heard the clichés, and I'm backing them up, WOW. My eyes are still bugging out of my head, knees are still shaking, I'm babbling nonsense and am overall ... high ... ON Haines.
After four down days of waiting out the low clouds, I finally got to see what all the AK hype is about. And I couldn't even talk. I almost cried actually – these sparkly peaks, spines, cornices, and huge mountains are the most beautiful things I've ever experienced. The movies don't even to begin to do justice their grandeur. I'm pretty sure this is my heaven.
I was trembling just looking at a classic filming spot called "Lightmeter," which I had no idea how to ski. Huge cornices at the top, mandatory 20 foot rope in, 6o-plus degree slopes, all choking into gnarly runnels and chicken-head infested run outs. Beauty and danger really do go together. These guys blow my mind: Reggie, Tom, and Sunny, the guide, and all the rest of them dammmmmmm. I have total respect. Though I did get an earful of the boys discussing humor including any subject matter surrounding the anal region. Yeah, it was gross, but always entertaining.
So I'm officially deflowered and if I get the chance, will do anything
I can to turn into an AK slut. Cheers to the snow gods for creating this place. I'm in love – won't be sleeping much tonight.
Dyer is high on Haines, AK
