Beyond CloudMachine

DPS founder Stephan Drake, is an athlete/ambassador for clothing company, Patagonia. Last year Patagonia launched their award winning Tin Shed website.  It's a virtual tour of the Ventura, CA shack in which the iconic brand was started. Inside the shed, you'll spot a pair of Wailer 105's, and if you click on them, you can watch a 6 minute short entitled, Beyond CloudMachine. The film is a quick glimpse into three seasons of exploratory trips along the Alaskan/Candian border. Drake, Oskar Enander, and Mark Smith have pioneered previously un-skied zones in the Chilkat mountains, and Cloudmachine is a named high pass that yields direct access to the next frontier on their maps: an ice-capped mega zone of interconnected glaciers laced with phenomenal descents.  Beyond Cloudmachine features  tunes by The Thievery Corporation, and the skiing of Stephan Drake, Seb Garhammar, and Jon Larsson.
