'Julia's Off To Alaska' - Video

Nice short video about Berghaus athlete Julia Pickering's planned trip to Alaska - snowboard, husky and big mountain content.

You might not have come across Julia Pickering, but she's a Berghaus-supported snowboarder and snowboard mountaineer who's the central figure of a forthcoming film being shot over seven weeks in the French Alps and the St Elias - Wrangell mountains in Alaska where she's leading a team aiming to climb a 15,000 metre peak before descending by snowboard.

We like the boarder being pulled by husky moment... and there's some cracking mountain footage from the team's training sessions in the Alps too.

If you're quick, you can also catch Julia on Look North on iPlayer at: www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01gy8js/Look_North_(North_East_and_Cumbria)_03_05_2012.

She features at around the 15-minute mark talking about the expedition.
