First Descent

Snowboarding's early pioneers Shawn Farmer, Nick Perata, Terje Haakonsen and some of the ultra-sponsored superstar Shaun White and Hannah Teter goes to the snow blanketed mountains of Alaska. These five face some of the most challenging and hard-core natural terrain on the planet. They all have come for different reasons. Perata and Farmer have come to see if they still have what it takes to climb the mountain, Haakonsen to add another credit to his Big Mountain resume and White and Teter to undertake their first Big Mountain ride ever. Yet all seek to challenge themselves to accomplish the best snowboarding feat of their lives down peaks of powder no rider has ever descended.
