RAT WEEK with Scott Holland, @ScooterPooter DWD - Where are you right now? SH - Right now I am in Siem Reap Cambodia. Just spent a month in Thailand and I'm heading to Indonesia next to meet some AK/Tahoe homies and do some surfing. SE Asia is amazing! DWD - Is that where you go to warm up for you season usually? ha! SH - Haha, I wish. Might have to make it an early season tradition from now on. Trying to bring the surf style with me back home. DWD - Where's home base for you usually? SH - Anchorage Alaska is home base. Born and raised, I love it there. DWD - And then you've been getting down to SLC the past couple winters too? SH - Yeah, I usually go to SLC for the end of January and most of February. That place is so fun! DWD - What are the pros and cons of each spot? SH - Alaska is rad, huge steep mountains and lots of un-discovered sketchy street spots. Sometimes the weather can be shitty (30 degrees and raining in December) and we can't drive from state to state following storms. But the good days are fucking REALLY good so I guess it kinda balances out. Utah is awesome but kind of opposite. A lot more resorts (I love Brighton), and almost every street spot is perfect. You can drive East or West or even Northwest. And the powder is truly champagne when the weather is right. Both places have amazing people, Utah has shitty beer. DWD - Besides tropical locations, what are your plans for the rest of winter? SH - I plan to return to AK around mid January. Play lots of music with the wonderfully talented Gus and Esthera Engle, and of course to film with Brendon Hupp and all the homies. We are working on a two year project called End Search, bringin back the VX. And also filming for Pozi+ Pozi+, a series of interweb edits to be made by Gus and Este. Might go to Baker around early February and possibly Tahoe in March. Follow Scott on the gram! @ScooterPooter
