Every trip and every adventure starts and ends with the word “home,” and my strong family greatly contributed to my strength in the field. I can’t count the number of times my wife LiAnne and kids Nick, Sage and Cole heard me say, “I’ll be home in a few days!” This was the last heli pick-up during a trip to Alaska’s Chugach Mountains in 2000. During film shoots, you often wait for days or even weeks before you ski, but when it’s on you work from dawn until dusk. That makes rest days critical, and you learn not to waste them. While in Bella Coola, BC in 2002, Eric Pollard, Seth Morrison and Aaron McGovern found an old dirt racetrack for some high-octane relaxation. (MSP) Flip McCririck Gallerie 093
