The concept for Find Snowboarding is simple, go ride in places of the world where snowboarding is unexpected. But as for the execution, that proves to be a bit more difficult. The Aleutian Islands are a large chain of volcanoes that make up the long arm of land that juts into the Pacific off the coast of Alaska. It’s gnarly there to say the least. Remote, extremely unpredictable weather, and definitely no cell service. It was the perfect place for the next installment of Rome Snowboards‘ highly anticipated series Find Snowboarding and holds true to the spirit of adventure.

As Cody Booth made his yearly migration to Alaska in search of untouched lines and epic powder – The weather was less then cooperative.
Armed with a map and pending weather forecast a decision was made to head west…as far west as possible.
The Aleutians were formed by volcanic reaction and to this day still host large active volcanoes; many with lines, couloirs and untouched possibilities. – An adventure to unbelievable to pass up for Thomas Delfino and Aspen Rain Weaver, who headed north to meet Cody in the wild frontier.
Weather, grizzly bears, and a lack of amenities made this into one of the grittiest missions to date. The little town welcomed these unusual visitors but the surrounding terrain made no concessions, forcing the crew to get creative as they searched for first descents and fresh lines.
