Last April I got the chance to jump in the rotation for a Levitation Project/Absinthe/Snowboarder Mag shoot at Snowbird.  The plan was to session an in bounds hip over on the little cloud/gad valley area of the mountain. This idea was spawned by the one and only Terje Haakonsen, who sent this beast el natural back in the day. Building from his inspiration the crew took a more man made approach stacking a huge lip to blast off.  In order to get the thumbs up on this build was a long process and had been a couple years in the making.  A huge thanks goes out to Nico Nolan, Shane Charlebois, Snowbird Patrol/ Marketing and Snowboarder/E Stone for making it a success! Couldn’t have asked for a better backdrop or spring session so close to home!

Enjoy some pixels of Dan Brisse that never saw much light of day.

In case you missed the online feature with the whole Levitation crew you can see it HERE.

Shred NW Magazine just dropped their newest winter issue and I’m stoked to have a feature article inside!  A quick Alaskan breakdown from trips to Haines, Valdez and Alyeska with LEVITATION riders Chris Coulter, Wyatt Caldwell, Jeremy Thompson and Jules Reymond.  You can flip through the online version HERE or pick up a copy at any local snowboard shop.

I have yet to drive through this stretch of highway on the CO-UT boarder and not see an epic sunset.  This time around Utah welcomes us back after a week long trip down in southern Colorado at TMH. Always nice to take a break from the road and enjoy the show!

Just did a quick interview on RAW.  You can check it out HERE.

Well, busted another shutter last week on a shoot in Silverton Colorado. Fortunately it happened on the last day shooting action so It didn’t interfere with much. That’s numero dos for me on my Mark II in the past three years.  Kind of a funny coincidence that these were the first two frames right after the shutter blades detached.  Almost looks as if God is striking down Adam Dowell for listening to way too much METAL!!!!

Happy Holidays and New Year to all! 2010 was jam packed and firing all the way to the end! Stoked to bring in a fresh year with a ton of new images and ideas. I have a feeling its going to be killer year!!! I have made a resolution to keep this beast updated more frequently so keep stopping by.  Thanks for all the support!!

It’s about time I built myself a splitboard. This rig is going to help me open up whole new door in my snowboarding and I’m so psyched. More to come on the full split process. Stay tuned. Thanks to Coulter for the help!

This past December I had the chance to take the Utah Avalanche Center & Snowbird Free Ride Avalanche Summit. The two day course was geared towards advanced and professional riders looking to refresh or soak up some very valuable avey knowledge taught by some of best forecasters guides and pro riders in the nation. I thoroughly enjoyed being a part of the course and can only help spread the awareness and encourage any one who already travels in the back country or is thinking about riding out of bounds to take a avey course or read up on avalanches because having a beacon, shovel and probe doesn’t mean shit. You need to know how to use these tools and understand the terrain your traveling in as well as being able to recognized all the red flags.  This knowledge can save your life as well as your homies.  Check out tons more photos and words over at LEVITATION.

A few photos from a mellow day cruising in bounds with Coulter after Snowbird got some long awaited snow.  Super fun day breaking the legs back in shape and no better place to do that then the bird! Check more photos over at Levitation.

I haven’t been excited to see a snowboard flick as much as I’m for this one! Going to be unreal!

Stoked to be work with the Levitation Project this season. Lot’s of good plans in the works and its shaping to be one of my best season yet. Really excited to get move on things once the snow allows us to! Check out brand spakin new Levitation site as well as my bio on there.
