Oh…and a couple of flowers too.  Lonnie and Scottie agreed to be my victims up at Alta this evening, little did they know the insidious torment I had in store for them. Actually none of us knew just how vicious the little vampires were gonna be up there.  Someone could make a killing with a [...]

Yet another tough day in the life spent flitting around Alta with Kalen Thorien.  I’m not sure how I manage.

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.
