Alaska, this one-of-a-kind nonevent offers participants the opportunity to truly experience Alaskan
backcountry riding.
Managed by legendary Alaska rider Nick Perata, Tailgate Alaska 2009 will host pro riders, backcountry
experts, industry insiders, and Valdez locals. Attendees will have the opportunity to ride with some of the
most experienced backcountry riders in Alaska.
Tailgate Alaska 2009 is an all-inclusive experience. Transportation, lodging, meals, and backcountry
training will all be taken care of by MTNOPS staff. Lodging for Tailgate Alaska 2009 will be at the
Mountain Sky Hotel in downtown Valdez.
According to Nick:
As host of Tailgate Alaska '09' I would like to welcome you to some of the best snowboarding on the
planet. Come ride with me and the top pros of today in a place where legends are made. You will
ride every kind of terrain there is, chutes, bowls, tight couloirs, natural halfpipes and open pow fields.
But on such a grand scale that with each run comes an even greater felling of accomplishment, awe,
and achievement. The unknown truth about Alaska is that 60% of the terrain is intermediate and
you don't have to be a backcountry expert to enjoy these mountains. Even the beginner will have
the time of their life. This is the place to come to improve your big mountain skills and experience
the best riding of your life with your best bros, snowboard heros, and all the local legends.
You have always wanted to ride Alaska, so come ride it with me and my bros.
