23″ overnight

March 6th, 2010

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

March 1st, 2010

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 [...]

Fat Tuesday

February 16th, 2010

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 [...]

Echo BASE

February 15th, 2010

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 [...]

T-Rex

February 8th, 2010

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 [...]

Here there be monsters…

January 28th, 2010

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 [...]

Oh my…oh my god…

January 21st, 2010

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, [...]

Deepest 8″ ever

January 19th, 2010

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 [...]

Mad respect to the guys that shoot Superpipe contests and shoot them well.  This was my first time seeing much less shooting this event and man it’s a struggle.  From the super tight confines of the media pens to the rock hard ice of the pipe deck it’s a battle.  Add in the random nature [...]

Dashboard Confessional

January 15th, 2010

Dew Tour’s Alli After Dark shut down 25th st. in Ogden tonight for a Dashboard Confessional show.  27 degrees F with a foggy mist made a cold night for all parties.  Great turnout for the event and Ogden seemed to have behaved itself nicely.  Shocking.  These are just some shots from the crowd.  These types [...]
