Revelstoked!

What a week! Just got back from an action packed 5 days of shooting in Revelstoke BC. I started off shooting the Subaru Freeskiing World Tour event, which was a very cool experience in itself. For those people unfamiliar with this kind of event, it is a Big Mountain skiing contest where competitors pick their way down the alpine area (essentially a quadruple black diamond run...if such a thing exists) and are judged based on: Air, technical difficulty of their line and the finesse with which you ski it. Some of the biggest names in freeskiing were present and I had the chance to witness first hand guys dropping the most insane lines I have ever seen! The event was a blast, and my media pass got me free lift tickets and access to shooting areas that were off limits to the public...so I got some great shots.

So I shot the event during the day...and in the evening I hooked up with two super talented snowboarders from the Voleurz crew: Justin VDP and Shayne Zwickle for some crazy urban shots. I was super impressed with these two riders, even after taking huge bails, they would get back up and try it again...all in the name of “getting the shot”.

Then to top it all off...I got the opportunity to shoot with Selkirk Tangiers Heli skiing. So basically I was paid to go heli skiing! What an experience! The terrain was like something out of my dreams...long, open glade runs with an endless supply of powder. And all the guests were really stoked on their shots. I definitely have to say thanks to my friend and fellow photographer Dan Stewart for hooking me up, not just with the heli skiing, but for letting me stay at his place the whole time. Thanks buddy.
