The Provo brothers like to be outside. From mountain biking and fishing around the backcountry of Utah, exploring the rivers of Bolivia for golden dorado, or hiking into backcountry lines in the big ranges of Alaska, it seems they know how to enjoy life and make some pretty killer films while doing it. In this film, they head into Alaska to chase wild steelhead and even wilder big mountain lines. Here it is from the Provo Bros themselves:
“In the spring of 2015, we began another pursuit for big lines and wild fish. Once again, our direction was north to Alaska, just as it was 3 years ago on our first trip to capture steelhead and spines. Since then, our burning desire to explore around the next bend, to see what’s on the other side of the mountain, has grown to an inextinguishable level. We found ourselves back in a corner of southeast Alaska where for a few months of the year, some of the steepest, fluted lines in the world can be ridden, while chromed out steelhead run up and down the coastal rivers. This is the place for us to step outside the bubble of modern society, and into a world of our own making, where skiing and fishing and camping is everything. We returned home with these images, and memories of battling storms and mountains on the glacier, and of an island where pure fish swim beneath the old growth hemlocks.” – Ian and Neil Provo
