STRIKE - Chasing Big Mountain Lines in Alaska – A Project by Jake Hopfinger
Introducing STRIKE - A Big Mountain Project by Jake Hopfinger
In late March 2024, an elusive three-day window of sunshine opened up in the heart of Alaska's rugged backcountry, and Jake Hopfinger knew he needed to seize the moment. He promptly hit up Caite Zeliff, Maggie Voisin, Caleb Ely, and Alex D'agostino, and the crew set out to conquer steep faces and untouched powder in the Alaskan Backcountry.
From hard charging descents down massive spines to navigating unpredictable terrain, STRIKE captures the adrenaline of skiing in one of the world's most unforgiving environments.

Maggie, what are you doing the next few days?
It's looking really good in Alaska.
We got a really nice three-day window.
I think we should get up there.
I just got off the phone with Kate.
She's in.
Let's go.
But that's got some potential and that's dead east.
So that's morning light.
Drank too much coffee this morning.
Okay, Jason, three, two, one.
All right, Maggie, drop me in five.
I'm all good, everybody.
All right, see you guys down there.
Sick.
All right, Kate, you drop it.
You know, three days isn't a lot of time up there,
but hopefully something good will come out of it.
