Christoph von Alvensleben was featured in backcountry snowmachining films.
Both men, who died Friday when an avalanche poured down a mountain at Turnagain Pass, lived to snowmachine in Alaska's backcountry, said friends and family members. They loved the snow. They loved riding. They loved being extreme.
Stark, 27, and von Alvensleben, 25, belonged to an elite group of freestyle riders who rode when and where no one else would, sometimes with someone filming as their machines flew through the air or did flips off ridges thousands of feet up in the Alaska mountains.
"He was really the prototypical invincible person who could do anything and do it well," said von Alvensleben's older brother, Johannes, who was reached at the family home. "He might get hurt. But nothing bad would really happen to him. Not avalanches. Avalanches are something that happen to other people, not us."
