Sun’s Out Gun’s Out.

Wednesday, April 14th, 2010

Count down to closing is 4 days (sad face) and with sun in the sky I had to get up to park city to see who was lapping and get some end of the season photos. To no surprise just about everyone was enjoying slushy day and going for broke top to bottom in the pic n’ shovel park. I slipped into the hot lap mix and captured what photos I could during the madness, so many athletes and only one lens (sad face two) but I did my best (teamwork).

Upon arrival it was Tyler Barnes and Steve Stepp, hey tones!

Good flat down set up at the top of the run, Barnes agrees.

Lip 270, please correct me if i’m wrong Tyler.

I can’t even say if hes is going right or left because I didn’t shoot sequence, it’s only a D40x. Barnes goes both ways so let your imagination do the rest.

I know for a fact Collin Collin’s was super stoked on the day, “i’m going to be the last person on this lift”.

He should just put his name on this hitching post after today. Smile!

This shot doesn’t correspond with the one below it but look at that form.

Switch 5 Japan, Collin has that easy style.

The new dipped 3.

Steve Stepp was also there but like most mummies he is very elusive and remains un-photographed.

Building a Jump

Tuesday, March 30th, 2010

Yesterday I started a long project, the gap jump from 44 days.

It is alot different this year, the low snow year and less slide activity in the bowl gave it some new charachteristics

It is always like that going to new spots over the years, Glaciers melt, trees grow and fall, cornices form, ect.

I found this jump cruising around the backcountry of Utah on a cloudy day with Kris Ostness.

We had no Idea it would be a good jump until we came back and looked at it again on a sunny day.

Jossi Wells hit it also, it was his first backcountry jump of that season.

It is about 80 feet to the knuckle, then you can fly as far as you desire after that.

Check it out in Revolver!

It just keeps growing and growing

You cannot see the landing from this photo…. yikes

The hike out is a trek

For Jumps this size, I recommend using a grain hog shovel like this one and not a little avalanche shovel

Team work work work, all day long and it still is not done

Good friend and great filmer, Paul Braunstein recently shot and dropped this sick edit from Park City.  Nice work Paul.  And the song is probably my favorite that I’ve seen in an edit in a long time, so classic.

My cousin Kohl came to visit me in Utah for his spring break.  We’ve been having some great days skiing truly spring-like weather.  Kohl filmed me and some of my homies with his GoPro on a nice, sunny afternoon at Park City.  This edit features myself, Dylan Ferguson and Jeff Kiesel.
