Arctic Man is one of the world’s most intense downhill ski races, and with 15,000 impassioned fans in attendance, the event has an intense party scene to match.

For 28 years, fans have been trekking to Paxson, AK, for this phenomenal display of speed.

Adam takes in the stark environment of Paxson, a town with a population of 40 people.

Adam channels his inner Paul Bunyan and joins a log-splitting contest.

At this Hawaiian-themed campsite, Adam gets to taste a juicy, roasted whole hog.

The party not only gets a little wild at Arctic Man, but also a little creative. Adam meets a fan who likes his drinks out of a gasoline tank.
