Alex Pashley represented all that is right in snowboarding. His final trip was one to Alaska with The North Face, and it cemented some of the best moments in place. Take a trip with Pash, Austin Smith, Mateo Massitti, and Nik Baden through the lens of Brock Nielsen. They also created a website with the goal to curate the experience by adding layers to the trip that build upon the video.  

"Alex organized the quest to Alaska. Like a bald eagle looking for prey, he watched the weather, waiting for the perfect time to strike. All the stars aligned on this quick trip but shortly after it, he tragically passed away. This was his trip, these are his photos and this video celebrates his presence."
