Freezing Cold and Alone for 100 Miles
In this video, join me as I ski traverse 110-miles through the rugged Frank Church–River of No Return Wilderness in Idaho. This journey through one of the largest wilderness areas in the lower 48 is packed with unfiltered, behind-the-scenes footage, showcasing the raw realities of traversing deep snow, isolated terrain, and harsh winter conditions—all on skis. Experience the highs, the lows, and everything in between as I navigate this remote landscape, alone in the wild.
