Largest overnight total of the season at Alta today and although it was a bit upside down it did not disappoint.  Too manky and socked in to shoot action but I snapped off a few frames pre and post shred.

SKIING Mag.com paired my images up with a nice piece by Michelle Parker.  Check it out.

Another tough one…blue skies, warm temps and the charming McKenna Peterson to rip around Snowbird with.  Woe is I.   Not much doing with the ski action until we get some snow but we managed to cause some trouble up on the upper tram dock where her new Orage duds could be seen luminescing from outer [...]

Spent the past few days up in BC for our annual gathering at Retallack Lodge.  It’s amazing to think that we’ve been making the pilgrimage for a decade now.  Great friends, great skiing and great hospitality are the hallmarks of this trip and this year did not disappoint.  While BC, much like Utah, is in [...]

Meredith Riley and I spent the morning suffering through blue skies and untracked snow @ Alta / Bird in order to kill time until beer 30.  I’m not sure how we got through it but somehow we managed.  It was truly horrible.  I’m not sure what I’d do if everyday was like this.  Too much [...]

Headed out to Echo, UT Sunday afternoon to shoot Clayton Butler, Kevin Chirico and Marshall Miller hucking their carcasses off a couple of 500 foot cliffs.  Having never seen BASE jumping in person and having never been to these cliffs before it was going to be a day of learning for me.  I knew that [...]

Owen is 3. He rips.  He also thinks he’s a t-rex and along with his dad, Anton, showed me around Wolf Creek this morning.   It was fun.  It’s not everyday you get to watch one of your best mates bask in the glow of his son’s stoke.  It’ll be tough to top this one for [...]

With over 7 feet of snow from last weeks parade of storms the famine morphed into a feast in a hurry.  Unfortunately that buffet was laid out on a very angry table and the mountains have been biting back with a vengeance.  Sadly we’ve lost 2 soul’s in the Wasatch to the White Dragon this [...]

Alta was reporting 6″ at 6 am but the radar was a green blob and it was snowing hard at the house @ 4900 ft.  Looked like an instant replay of Tuesday’s lotto jackpot.  What ensued is the stuff of lore.  Over the head choke on it blower pow.  Ridiculous.  Met up with Carston Oliver, [...]

Ahhhhhh.
Sigh.
Smile.
After 2 weeks of high pressure inversion smog hell and an utterly brutal snow pack the skies opened and the Cottonwoods did their best to drain every last molecule of moisture from the clouds.  A collective sigh of relief and a massive long overdue exhalation burst forth from everyone in attendance. Pow.  Deep pow.  Totally [...]
