In honor of some of the tastiest spines they’d ever skied and Tanner’s post-shred snack, the guys named the run “Pringles.” – TGR
Sage: “You ever hit anything like this before?”
Tanner: “Never dude! Are you f*ing kidding me?”
“The crew heads to the previously unexplored Petersburg, Alaska. They find the terrain to be big and burly; everyone felt like they were floating in space due to its size.
