The Early Winter 2010 edition of the Outdoor Sports Guide was just released into the wild and I just so happen to have landed my first cover shot with this image of Kalen Thorien frolicking in the waist deep Alta fluff. We shot this on … Read More →

Oct / Nov 2010 Issue of the NSAA Journal (National Ski Area Association) is running a piece I worked on last spring with Jill & Sage Adler along with the Alta Ski School. Sage is darling as you can see, but I def. learned that … Read More →
Moose & Mosquitos
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 … Read More →
Gambled and lost?
I rolled the dice on Monday night as the weather forecast was epic with 30″ plus forecast over the next 48 hours in Little Cottonwood Canyon. Got a super deal on a room at the Cliff Lodge at Snowbird and wagered that I’d be better … Read More →
Bluebee
Sat / Sun storm dropped a foot of fluff up LCC but the wind had it’s way with just about every damn flake. The skies cleared, the sun shown and Andy Sabatier and I caught first tram at the Bird in hopes of rooting out … Read More →
Kalen
Yet another tough day in the life spent flitting around Alta with Kalen Thorien. I’m not sure how I manage.
23″ overnight
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.
McKenna
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 … Read More →
Fat Tuesday
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 … Read More →
Here there be monsters…
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 … Read More →
Oh my…oh my god…
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 … Read More →
Deepest 8″ ever
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 … Read More →
Tracks
I shot this scene from the Alta parking lot yesterday really just to document the avalanche and skiing activity for fellow back country users. Some of you have keener eyes than I do and after some serious cropping to a 100% zoomed image we seem … Read More →
Superior in full formal attire…
With Alta / Bird as my new home mountain there’s been a bit of a shake up in the morning ritual. In order to miss traffic on the drive south my days are starting pretty early. Once I drop Tonka at the canine amusement park … Read More →
