Braver, Bigger: Erica Madison

For this video spotlight, I caught Erica Madison in preparation for her 5-month, 2000-km, ski traverse from Vancouver, BC to Skagway, AK. All the mountain scenes are from our Denali Traverse (thingstolucat.com/denali-traverse)- Erica and Sarah Heck joined us for the exit.

This was my product from Carl Crum’s 5-day Documentary Workshop, DocShops. I learned more during the workshop than I had in the previous two years of hacking on my own. Thanks to Erica, Sarah Heck, the APU gym, Baraba’s Ballet Studio, Carl Crum, Slavik Boyechko, and Travis Gilmour.

I grew up in McGrath, live in Anchorage, teach at Alaska Pacific University, and play outside as often as possible. Anchorage has an incredible group of recreation partners; I feel very lucky to be here. I lean on a huge community of friends for trip and gear advice. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
