The Yakovleff Project
We’re happy to finally release The Yakovleff Project, a video we’ve been working on with our college buddy Sasha Yakovleff for almost a year now. Sasha is everywhere, he’s a ski coach in Vermont, he’s a ski rep., he’s the Rye Airfield Bike Park Manager and he’s a professional mountain biker. Take a look at what we’ve created with him. Shot entirely in the state of New Hampshire, we film Sasha shredding his hand-built trails, the Rye Airfield Bike Park and the legendary Highland Mountain Bike Park. Enjoy, share and thank you for checking out Alpine Live.

On another note, last week we ventured into the VT Backcountry and were rewarded with some of the best skiing we’ve ever had! It looks like it’s been snowing basically non-stop since we left on Thursday afternoon so we’re amped to get the skins dried out and get back up there. It’s finally winter in Vermont!!!
A parting shot, from the fair-weather surf photographer. Happy New Year!
Nor’Easter | December 26, 2012 AND Sugarloaf Photo Review
Well, the snow is piling up. Some areas are expected to see upwards of 20″ by Friday AM. There will be some scary driving conditions today for sure so be careful on that commute and if you’re headed for the hills make sure you plan accordingly and drive slow. Let those plows do they’re work, with another storm right behind it arriving on Saturday evening, they will surely have their hands full.
THE LOAF! Such a great trip, looks like fun times ahead folks! Enjoy and drive safe!
Look for the rest of the gallery on Powdermag.com next week, accompanying Mr. Dunfee’s article!
Sugarloaf!
We’re heading up to Sugarloaf in the morning to chase this storm, stay up to date for photos on our Facebook page.
Just a few shots from past seasons. Get out there!
Vermont
FINALLY! I can ski something other than man made snow cone b/s. Made the drive up to VT to meet up with Jason and his buddy Dwight. Bolton had a inch or two on the ground before the 8″ that fell overnight, just enough to cover the grass. It looks like Stowe and Jay may have done a little bit better as far as snow totals go but it was still an excellent day. My journey started at the bottom of Timberline and ended about 3/4 the way up Cobrass, along the way I met up with Jay and Dwight and we pushed forward…hoping that the wind had deposited the snow up there. After bushwhacking, PBR (thanks Jay!) and getting poached by two snowboarders, we started the descent.
Conclusion: We need more snow, not much…but we need more snow. Here is a visual account of what happened.
Thursday Morning Leftovers
This may be one of my favorite images of all time, the right wall almost looks like the inside of an orange.
Portsmouth
