A bit of local knowledge goes a long way, especially when conditions are sketchy. When Claudia Avon and Taylor Godber made it to Colorado for Episode 2 of their Fingers Crossed series, they found someone familiar with Silverton’s sled terrain before venturing out. A few monster hikes later and they were finally riding the kind of snow that had eluded them back in Whistler.
Taylor skipped town for a few days to shoot in Austria with Billabong, while Claudia got more of the goods in CO.
For the final episode, Claudia gets a baptism of fire in Alaska while riding with the Bus Life Crew – all big lines and big slides. By the time Taylor flies in things have calmed down a little, and the girls sign off their web series in style.
It wasn’t an easy season, with several setbacks and frustrations, but what could be a better reward for all that hard work than blasting down AK faces in the sun?
“That was the whole premise of the project – to inspire people”, says Taylor. Mission accomplished, we reckon.
