Alaska Backcountry Chugach Alphabet poster

This alphabet is dedicated to my nephew, age 5, who is growing up to be an amazing adventure buddy. It's also dedicated to my sister and brother-in-law, who are constantly encouraging him with snacks and hot chocolate, as well as the other amazing parents who are instilling a love of the outdoors into their young backcountry babies.

I illustrated the poster, one letter at a time, from my and my friends' photographs of backcountry skiing adventures.

Thanks so much for spreading the love and inspiration!
