This week's Almost Live takes you behind the scenes as the TGR crew gets ready to explore a new zone in Petersburg, AK. See what goes into planning a trip and getting our top athletes, guides and pilots on location. Watch as they scout out the area and wait out bad weather until as Ian McIntosh describes, "When we get a bluebird day, we're going here, here and here…as long as the snow is stable, we're going to crush it."

"You ever hit anything like this before?" "Never dude! Are you f*cking kidding me?" Watch as Tanner Hall and Sage Cattabriga-Alosa hit some of the steepest lines that Alaska has to offer in Tanner's continued transition to big mountain riding. In honor of some of the gnarliest spines they'd ever skied, the guys later named the run, Pringles, after his post-shred snack. Just like the chips, once we popped, we couldn't stop.

The crew heads to the previously unexplored Petersburg, Alaska. They find the terrain to be big and burly; everyone felt like they were floating in space due to its size. With first descents being the norm, Ian McIntosh drops in on a virgin line with his Ripxx and records his G's and top speed, charging!

"As far as REALLY big tricks off REALLY big airs in big mountain terrain, Dana Flahr is the guy, hands down" -Todd Jones The TGR crew was meeting in Vancouver, Dana Flahr had to hop on a bus at 2pm, but decided to take his chances and sled into the backcountry for a quick shred.

"Oh god! would these faceshots please stop so i can please see where I'm going!" -Ian McIntosh Haines, AK received 8ft of powder in a 14 day period and the TGR crew were blessed with stable snow conditions. Classic McIntosh, he picked a line with a large drop coming out of it, full of critical turns, and had to beat his sluff out. Watch as Todd Jones, Sage Cattabriga-Alosa, Josh Neilson, and the man himself dissect and analyze Ian McIntosh's line.

Chris Benchetler, Dana Flahr, and Dash Longe heard it was dumping snow in Italy and took an overnight train from Croatia to La Thuile, Italy. La Thuile is a town located on the very north-west tip of the country, and the locals are super friendly and fun. A seemingly never-ending storm pattern, on-hill Italian dance parties, and the friendly locals made this trip a banger even with weather holding the helicopters down.

Ian McIntosh, Dana Flahr, and head to the Pemberton Ice Cap for a day filled with sledding, hiking, and shredding. Ian has been scoping a line for a couple years now, and finally hits it with the TGR crew in tow. THe couloir he drops is pinner to say the least....

Callum steps it up, hitting a cliff Ian McIntosh wouldn't even touch. The foreseen consequences terribly come true, with a proverbial "hole-in-one" crevasse shot.

Seth Morrison hopped a quick plane to Jackson Hole to meet up with Sage Cattabriga-Alosa. Jackson, just coming out of a storm cycle, granted the boys deep pow pillows, bluebird days and big lines. Sage's double cliff 360's and Seth's lincoln loops were highlights of a great trip.
