Snowboarders Jake Koia and Roland Morley-Brown gear up for another epic day in Alaska's backcountry. After shredding some huge lines, they follow up by shooting some high-powered guns with the locals.

Jake Koia and Roland Morley-Brown head out for another day of heli riding and learn a lesson in not forcing it. They drop into lines that turn out to be just as dicey as they looked from the air.

When the weather doesn't play ball, it's time to find other distractions. Jake and Roland hang out with some wolves, play disc golf, ride old snowmobiles, and have an old-fashioned Alaskan bonfire.

Jake and Roland spend their last days in Alaska doing what they came to do: ride epic terrain. The last lines of the trip confirm that this was a life-changing experience for them and their crew.
