Mike Basich shows us the base of the Area-241 chairlift
The Next day we made the trek up to Lake Tahoe via Donner Summit & stopped by Mike Basich’s Area-241 to see the work in progress on his chairlift. Mike owns 40 acres on the Pass and has already constructed his own house, tow-rope and now his personal chairlift. “Each chair will be pieces of art” says Mike, for instance one chair will be a Monkey hanging off the cable and you will sit in it’s hand. He also plans on having art work all over the runs, paintings hanging from trees, a 24 ft quarter pipe, 40 ft table top jump & all sorts of Natural Features like Log slides and stuff.

Down days are perfect for sightseeing the town of Valdez or there is plenty of other interesting things to do up at basecamp. But Thank Goodness we only had 2 down days out of 12!
"Good Morning Tailgaters" Opie is a character, that's all I can say.
Mornings look for this dude making announcements about whats going on at camp like snow science clinics, man games or I suggest make your own adventure as everyone that knows what’s up does. That’s what’s up…
Micah on a down day just down the road from Tailgate at the pillows, Micah knows what's up.
Gentlemen take your pick...
Down days you could skeet shoot with Joey Weber’s shotgun or a partake in a little target practice with a hand cannon… 50 cal hand gun that is. AK resident Chris True brought all the Big Guns for this show…
Axe Throwing?
Axe throwing go’s down all the time, but during down days you can’t just walk past the set up without throwing it… nice double exposure from my i-Phone as Brett chucks the axe.
Or on a down day you could go for a Glacier Tour, Flows Donnie Denton, EVO’s Joseph Nataro and Flows Kevin Addy at Worthington Glacier
At night once all the old washed up good for nothing campers go to sleep you might get board, remember you can always walk across the street to Camp One Love for a good time. Named that after the Bob Marley One Love Flag perched above their camp, it’s where all local kids from the city of Valdez set up basecamp. Each year they get creative with their set up, this year was no different; they had a snow-cave built next to their fire pit. Quite a good time and definitely a must if staying up at the Pass. Respect the Locals!!
Only in AK
This 18 yr old kid (Jens) was more worried about scratching his Dads Suburban then getting his sled out and back into the rig. Yes that is a 145 track snowmobile inside there… Only in AK
Mornings you gotta get going and get out, here some of the boys take off, eh…
