See You There.

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

Today was one of the best days of the season for me. Despite the usual long traverse lines I got the chance to shoot with my long time friend Willie Nelson and his skiing is almost as rad as his name (win-win). We had a solid half day to work some of his favorite cliffs and bag some new ones he hadn’t sent this season, I even got to make some turns as well (no big). Not everyday is like this one but something about today made it “the day”. Maybe it was catching up with old friends, no pressure just point and shoot at whatever Willie wanted jump off of. Enjoy the photos.

Crowds heading towards the light, looks like Thursday is the new Saturday.

First sender was this air to chute, someone side stepped the entire thing but i don’t think he minded.

There was such fast weather moving over the mountains today, one minute snow the next clear. You can see Willie waiting it out left center of frame.

Tiered of waiting, just send it. He rocks the OG moss pants with a egg jacket, lemon lime combo.

Things have finally gotten to normal with snow pack around the resort, Willie has wanted this one so we scouted it for a minute and there was plenty of snow to go around.

Good light and he stomped it. Landing looks flat in the picture, it kinda was.

Then to the backside, what is a day of photos at Alta without sending the infamous A-Frame cliff. In one run we bagged this air to the slash shot below.

This photo might be one of my favorites this year (claim). I like the dark foreground that adds emphasis to the rider in the sunlight.

One of many spots to touch some sky in Little Cottonwood.

Stoked to see you out there Willie!

A beautiful day for Freeway

Yesterday and today have been debatably the best of the season for some park riding. I came up with my buddy Seth to get some sequence shots for a photo competition. I also ran into some other friends, which is quite common on such a day. Myself, Chirs Haggarty, Jake Black, Jake Knigge, and Seth had a long and fun day. Many tens were thrown, a handful of dubs, and the occasional method! Then, Chris and i topped off the day with a few laps at Key under the lights to meet our buddy Jon.

Corduroy morning. Look at that view!!!

Good Times in Grizz

The Wasatch is finally looking filled in and we’ve been enjoying some great days in the backcountry recently.  A lot of time has been spent in Grizzly Gulch, hitting some really fun jumps and finding delicious pow stashes.  Today we hit a jump I’ve been looking at all season, and under bluebird skies, hammers were dropped.  It was myself, Witt Foster, and our homie Dale Talkington sending this fun little number, getting shots for the next 4bi9 flick.  Friend and photog Max Webb snapped these epic photos and was kind enough to let me blog ‘em!

Buttering out of some switch pow turns. yummy.

Witt gets real steezy on this cork 7. Stomp.

Kevin Steen, he gets the shot.
