More Published Ski Photos - Double Page Spread

This one is from Mountain Sport and Living. The shot was taken at Snowbasin. This little zone always has really interesting light and rarely gets skied. Not the best for sustained vert, but a really good area for shooting.

More Drawings On Glass

Here's a piece I recently finished. It's an 8 pane window that was part of a door. As most of my "canvases" it came from a property we bought and restored. The piece was done using paint, stain and markers on the front side of the glass. There was also paint and excerpts from a 60's era maturation textbook used on the back side of the glass.

Published photo in Skiing Magazine

Here's a shot that's running in the current issue of Skiing magazine. This shot was taken at Snowbird by Kevin Winzeler. It was a rough day for shooting in terms of light and visibility, but the bold metal of the tram tower provided enough contrast and interest to come away from the day with a great shot.

POV Powder edit 12/30/10 from Snowbasin

Here's a little helmet cam footage from an awesome day of skiing at Snowbasin:

Clear?

After skiing pow all morning at Snowbird on the legendary 21st of December 2010 we decided to get spinny flippy in the afternoon. Overall it was an awesome time. This is a clip of a very close call. Some kids told me the landing was clear so I went ahead. They were wrong. I basically landed on the kids skis who was in the LZ. If it looked that close with a GoPro you can imagine how close it was. We had a quick discussion about proper spotting/safety right after this.

Snowbird Powder with Scott Markewitz

On Monday night I got a call from the biggest name is Outdoor Sports Photography to come shoot at Snowbird the next day. I was excited to say the least. The day dawned blue. We had 6 inches of fresh overnight and the mountain gave us early access to get out there to get some good shots.

If I had to give one reason why I've pursued this "professional skier" path I would have to say the experiences. The gear is awesome and definitely enhances the experience, but it all comes down to moments like Tuesday morning when you have an entire ski area all to yourself to ski powder under blue skies.

Hopefully some photos get published from the day. It felt really productive. We had great light, snow and access. Below is a photo taken by Jared Ishkanian of one of the airs of the day:
