By now, most hardcore snowboarders have heard about Tailgate Alaska: World Freeride Festival. It is their chance to be shown around the Chugach, by its most experienced guides and riders. These riders see Alaska as the ultimate bounty and it is. The mountains stack shoulder to should, each eclipsing America s great resorts Snowbird, Jackson, Telluride, Mammoth etc. The snow comes in deep and light, creating colossal curtains of snow with each descending turn.

We are honored to invite you to share this experience with us at Tailgate Alaska this spring. Come ride the Chugach this March and April and see the unlimited bottomless powder and mind-numbing peaks for yourself. Our goal is simple to share the best of the best with you.
