No guides, plans, itineraries, or rules, the Provo Bros hit AK for blower pow capped with chrome. Check out the latest 18-minute edit of Steelhead and Spines after the jump.
Via The Provo Bros: “Our addiction to mountains and rivers has always had us looking north to Alaska, where big fish and mountains existed on a level we had only experienced in our dreams. As the winter of 2012 continued to disappoint in the lower 48, it was obvious that Alaska was being buried in snow. It seemed like the time was right, that maybe after 10 years of “practice” in Utah, we were ready for our journey north. We hit the road in March, putting everything we had into our first and for all we knew, our last adventure to Alaska, with two things on our mind, steelhead and spines.”
