Editorial Update: Snowboarder Mag Photo Annual!!

This past season I spent a lot of time on the road with shooting. The harder you work the better overall results will be and that was the case here. Below is an Image of Tim Humphreys and Brandon Reis that made the cut for the Snowboarder Magazine Photo Annual. Big thanks to the athletes and Ryan Hughes for this opportunity, time and cooperation.

Editorial Update: Snowboarder Mag Holiday Gift Guide

Here are 2 of my images in Snowboarder Magazine from a trip last season to Smiley Creek Idaho with the Smith Team

Just in Time

I arrived back in Tahoe just in time for the storm. Tahoe has been very warm leading up to this storm but I was still stoked that there was potential 30 minutes up the hill in my backyard. Tahoe is known for very green trees. There was a few days off in the schedule in between shoots and this was definitely worth the hiking and digging!

NJ to Sun Valley Idaho

After being home for an amazing 11 hrs it was already time to hit the road. This time im off to Sun Valley Idaho. Here is a few photos from the trip. Also had to throw in an Iphone photo too!

NY Does HARD

After Michigan we hopped on a jet bus and bounced right to NY. Hunter Mtn pronounced in many mysterious ways only around NY. Thanks to tons of help from Brian Czarnecki, Dre Mori, Jeremiah Dixon.. for taking care of us and getting us dialed in awesome acomadations and never having to stress anything because they were right there to handle it. As for the building of the biggest thing Hunter Mtn had ever seen this thank you goes out to Josh Lempert of Snow Grind who worked his ass off in torrential down pours for days on end, pushing water and snow for this to all work out as planned.

Thank you Otsego Country Club!!

I was stoked that for the 4 days I was in Michigan shooting this^^ we had pretty perfect light! Big Thanks goes out to Corey @ Neptune Industries for building us our feature and all the boys over at Otsego Country Club for making this whole shoot work out as planned. These dudes killed it and also was the first time we all had our own beds!! Was nice to get a good night sleep after long days of getting work done! Big Thanks to Kip for being chill as hell and hooking us up with the 4 hr drive to the airport!
Thanks again guys and I will see you all next winter!!

Update from the Country Club

After the long drive from the airport we arrived at our hotel which was baller and on a golf course. Still curious about where the mountain was until the front desk girl brought us over to the window to show us what was in the process of being built for us. A massive hip that was bigger then the whole resort. Here is a snap of Brandon Reis shitting his pants in the air and where we will be for the next 4 days or so.

Passing the Time

Everyday after long hours of sledding and snowboarding it is always time to kick off the boots and try to relax a bit if possible. With so much time and energy wasted thinking about more shots some times you need to relax and go with it. Here is Scotty passing some time one sluggish morning in Smiley Creek Idaho with his harmonica.

Smiley Creek Idaho

After being in Tahoe for 2 days it was time to go meet up with Scotty and get some shots rolling in the backcountry on a Smith Team Trip. This place is awesome with a very laid back atmosphere. Every morning eat breakfast, gas up the sled, cruise out 15 miles into heaven and spend the day making laughs and capturing good times.

Mammoth Grand Prix "Olympic Qualifier"

Two weeks ago I headed down to Mammoth Lakes, Ca to check out the Olympic Qualifier. Below is shot of Shaun White doing the all too common double cork. It was fun times to go back to Mammoth Lakes and hang with a bunch of old friends as well as making some good party.

Zurick Airport, Switzerland. The trip started in Mammoth Lakes, Ca with the Flow international Team. We shot all day from 9 am to 5 then ate some snacks went back to the hill for a evening sunset shoot then right to the airport . Arrived at 3am to get on our 6am flight. Flew to Denver drank some beers in the lounge then headed off to DC airport to miss our connecting flight, hotel for the night next flight was the following evening. After airport security problems with a few of us being typsy our flight got underway to fly for only 20 minutes then turned around for tech problems. Thinking there computers were going to be fixed we then had to re-ticket and get onto a new flight and wait for baggage to be moved over. This image was on our way thru the airport to the Train Station.

1 Week in Mammoth with Flow Snowboards

1 Week in Mammoth Lakes, Ca shooting for Flow Snowboards and there international team. Not all the riders had the best of luck. This rider got hurt his first day off the plane from Japan. I tried to always pull him aside to get some lifestyles of him since action photos were out of the question. Here is one that I shot of him while his buddies packed the car to head back to the airport.

Japan

For the past 14 days I have been in Japan with Cole on behalf of Oakley. The first day I flew in then checked my emails after there wasn't anyone to pick me up at the Narita Airport in Tokyo. Seeing that Cole had missed his flight from Switzerland to meet with me in Japan due to airlines charging $3,000 for overweight baggage. I then hopped a shuttle to the domestic airport Haneda which is also in Tokyo to then fly up to the North Island. Luckily meet up with Nicholas Muller and a filmer Sandy. 2 days later we were ready for our next spot and finally get to the mountains to start doing what we do and shredding some POW! After leaving the resort Asahidake we left for civilization to Sapporo for the Toyota Big Air. Tomorrow we head back into the mountains to shoot for a few days prior flying back to Tokyo. While I was packing for Sapporo, Cole got this image of me in my portable home.
