Four friends. Two camper trucks. Four snowmobiles. A several thousand-mile road trip from Boulder through Canada and Alaska in search of untouched powder.
The dream of ski bums everywhere has been captured in a new book released this month, aptly named “The Powder Road.” The authors’ 2005 quest for deep snow explores a true adventure and a lifestyle that revolves around faceshots. And the book’s 240 pages of inspiring photos and crisp writing delivers the adventure of a lifetime to your coffee table. But it’s more than a book. For the past month, the powder-trippers have been unveiling video chapters of their ultimate adventure on www.powderroad.com. The “webumentary” – rich with articulate delvings into the passion of a true powderhound – conveys the hardships and rewards that accompany a self-supported trip.
