Giffin moved to Haines, Alaska to take advantage of the skiing conditions and do something risky, fun, and on the edge!
Giffin, in his own voice, describes the excitement of the exposure of the climb being as exciting as the way down. "I'm fortunate enough in my life to have sufficient struggle that I really am appreciative of every little bit I get."
About the way down, Giffin says, "There's something about the rowdiness of being neck deep in slough that the whole experience of being 'in it'...it's some of the most exciting skiing I've done. It's (also) some of the most frightening skiing, and it's not necessarily playing by the rules...just kind of poking in on it, playing on the edges...that's what I like to do."
He concludes, "You don't have to ask yourself the question about what all the sacrifice is for when you find yourself in that position."
And Giffin visibly risks everything, but in the process, hangs upside down in mid-air, plays on the edges, faces pristine snow banks and dangerous avalanches. Yet, in the process, his sacrifices pay off!
