Narrative
On today’s episode of The Firn Line, we’ll get to know exploratory wingsuit jumper, Pryce Brown.
Growing up in the coastal town of Cordova, Alaska – Pryce was exposed to the vast beauty of Alaska from a young age. Whether it was fishing, aviation, or later in his teens, backcountry skiing – Pryce was always drawn to the more adventurous side of life.
But it wasn’t until his college years, in the midst of a tedious engineering degree at the the University of Alaska Fairbanks, that Pryce found Speed flying – an extreme winter sport that involves a combination of paragliding and skiing – that would forever alter the course of his life.
Inspired by this new form of creative expression in the mountains, Pryce, along with a core group of friends, would begin tapping new opportunities in Alaska – and with that, open new realms of what was possible.
I recently sat down with Pryce to talk about his early experiences speed flying in Thompson Pass, a life changing experience base jumping off a bridge in Idaho, as well as his recent bar-setting wingsuit jumps in the mountains of Alaska.
