Just got back to SLC from a jam packed week in Vermont. After a long layover plus three hour delay in JFK followed by a bumpy connecting flight we finally made it into Albany. Carter and I were picked up by Johnny in the SNOWREV rig but had to wait another hour for Lonnie Kauk to land.. we all piled in the car and headed out to Vermont rolling in to Stratton around 4 in morning. Four hours later we were up rolling to the Mountain for Slopestyle finals.  Snag the links below to view the full reports!

- Croslands view of me trying to get the shot in the mix of the media frenzy.

- Here was my view. Can’t tell there is a million other people around me. You can barely make out Crosland on the bottom right in Black.

So the World Superpipe Championships went down at Park City the other week. It was my first time shooting it and I was coming in to it thinking another pipe contest nothing really special… same people, same tricks different venue. Which for the most part was true but what made this pipe event different from the rest was how Park City handled the media. First off was a pass to the riders reception dinner the night before in the Legacy Lodge with free dinner, drinks and dessert. Secondly they only gave out a limited number of deck photo passes with made it mellow to shoot anywhere. Thirdly another amazing free meal right after men’s final of salad, mash potato’s, bread, cookies, veggies and their were two guys slicing your choice of meat right off bone for you followed by a free beverage bar. Talk about hooking it up… I was pretty stoked. Click below to see the rest of the photos from the WSC.

Broke my Pocket wizard the other night. Everything was going great… everybody finished setting up the rail and I just got my lighting all good. While I was walking back to my spot reviewing my photos on my cameras LCD screen I tripped on a ice mound and fell camera first to the frozen concrete. I managed to take most of the blow to my elbow but my camera landed on side of the battery chipping it and my pocket wizard was smashed off the hot shoe….. I really cannot explain the sicking feeling that came over me since my pocket wizard was in pieces my battery was completely chipped. I didn’t even know if my camera still worked or if my 70-200L was cracked at all. Luckily only the pocket wizard was messed up and everything else was just scratched or that would have been a hefty replacement/repair bill. Anyways saved all the broken pieces and the other night I managed to fixed my transmitter… All I need some glue and extra small screw driver. Works like a charm!

Following my week in Southern California myself and Joe Carter headed out for the 8 hr-ish drive up to North Lake making just in time for the Vans Cup Rail Jam. The weekend went off with out a hitch we had a sweet pad right on the Lake in Tahoe Vista to pump out some solid coverage of the weekend festivities.  Check the links below for photos, video and more.

March has started off pretty good. For one.. just paid my last months rent yesterday and now good and ready to find a new better pad here in SLC. Secondly just stopped by Milo and picked up the new March Issue of Blisss and stoked to see I got bunch of photos in there…. Lonnie climbing in Yosmite and an X Games spread. You can see the whole issue of Blisss online or pick up a free copy at your local shop. Thanks to Jon for hooking that up yeaaa!

Jeff Kramer is radical guy. After holding it down it the old Grenade shop Propagandhi in June for awhile he made the move to Alpine, WY. Alpine is a small snowmobile town 45 mins south of Jackon Hole where you will find more sleds parked outside the local bar than cars. I got a chance to shred and shoot with Kramer for a day while up in Jackon for the Natural Selection. We got some deeeep snow and a bunch of sick shots. Check out a update with Kramer and some photos I took from that trip on the Bataleon site. Also check out the Blue Bird Wax movie teaser which Jeff will be filming for.
