Joined by his close friend, Travis Rice rafts the Snake River midwinter in search of remote turns.

“Ice in the water — that’s when you know it’s below zero!” The oddly-titled “Snake Milkers” is a low-elevation romp through some of the Pacific Northwest’s least-accessed backcountry powder.

Travis Rice, Nick Koldenhoven, and their cohort stomp continuous big drops down pillow line after pillow line throughout the course of a 21-mile whitewater trip.

Watch the wild bunch tear it up for 45 rollicking minutes in the free film. To test the (ice-cold) water without putting both feet in, check out the above teaser.

Runtime: 3 minutes (trailer), 45 minutes (full film)
