Mountain Account: Escape from Glacier Bay

by The Editors February 4, 2014 1 Comment

“I knew we were in trouble when the contraband ran low,” Sheldon Kerr writes in the February-issue Mountain Account, Escape from Glacier Bay. “We had to face the facts,” she continues, “this storm was not letting up. That meant the pilot wasn’t coming for us, and if we didn’t make our way out of the whiteout glaciered wilderness, up and over the passes of the Chilkats, through the bear-filled rainforest and down to the ocean, we were going to die. Or at least get fired.” Here’s a video of the epic, and check out the February issue, which hits newsstands on February 3, for the full story.

Years later, he was in a lift line when a fellow rider saw the “Craig Kelly is my Co-Pilot” sticker on his board, and asked Blehm: “Who is Craig Kelly?” He was floored by the notion that there were snowboarders out there who didn’t know who Craig was. And this inspired him to write The Darkest White.
