Im testing some new things here to see if I can bring a little interactive fun to the ol' blog. I've been a big fan of panoramas for a while, but they always end up stashed away on my hard drive. I'd love to print out some 20 footers for my wall, but as long as I'm poor these interactive flash...
I'm pleased to present the latest offering from Inspired Media Concepts. "Retallack: The Movie" is the product of two months spent in one of the great powder skiing kingdoms of the world, the interior of British Columbia and even more specifically, Retallack Lodge. Having the opportunity to help...
Its been a while since I've been to zion, it was as just as hot as I remember. Mid july is not the best time at all to visit the park, extreme crowds and heat are guaranteed. We were on a mission to show our friend from switzerland something crazy before he left, southern utah is about as crazy...
what a crazy year of water it has been. After the winter storms put down the fattest snowpack in recent history, it wasn't until June before the snow began to melt. The rivers have been high all summer, and the fishing has been tough, for the most part. The challenge has really been waiting for...
After almost 10 solid months of winter, it seems ridiculous for me to even think about skiing in the summer. I mean, I love skiing but its certainly not the only thing I love to do. Last summer I spent 6 weeks in Chile during their winter and this year I won't be going. I'm a little disappointed...
A few nights ago, I was sitting down to a fantastic burrito dinner when the light broke through the clouds with incredible force. A tractor beam of light was engulfing the valley, and I knew the shit was about to go off. I set my burrito aside, trusting that the dog wouldn't find it, and grabbed...
Inspired Media Concepts presents the official trailer for Retallack: The Movie. This is the first feature film that I have ever been a part of and I'm pretty excited about the whole experience. We shot the film over the course of two months exclusively at Retallack Lodge, a cat skiing operation...
Out of all the cities in the world that I've been to, this is probably my favorite. After spending the weekend in the bay area visiting my family, I wondered why I haven't been there more. It's been a long time since my last visit and I realized that I should never wait that long again.

Last week was not normal. I shredded deep pow in may (no big surprise this year), surfed some really fun waves, and spent hours skating the mini pipe. In fact, I was able to do all of these things in a 24 hour period which I considered to be the ultimate shredding trifecta. more on that later...
Ya I know, heaviest winter, record breaking snowpack, but this spring another record was broken in Utah. It seems the largest Bonneville Cutthroat trout was caught pushing 32 inches. Check out the story here:
31 1/2-inch cutthroat caught at East Canyon Reservoir, yes East Canyon
This was...

AKA, Pfeifferhorn, is a nice little shark tooth of a mountain. Easily recognized by its similarity to the famous peak in the Alps, its the 5th highest in the Wasatch. On may 1st, it was not our original objective, but the unexpected sun forced us to bail on a more exposed line down the road. We...
Thats what the sign read at the bottom of little cottonwood canyon. The local sheriff was busy NOT enforcing the restrictions, so the road was choked up with knuckleheads fishtailing up the road on their summer tires. After narrowly averting multiple barney's, we were finally turned around at...
Summer of 2010 - Time Lapse Edit from Ian Provo on Vimeo.During the summer of 2010, I began shooting time lapses. Its a pretty neat form of cinematography thats slowly becoming an obsession of mine. While the rewards are sometimes quite nice, it can be very time consuming and frustrating...
Well, after spending nearly 60 days in the Interior of British Columbia, it sure feels nice to be home. Ideally, I would spend the rest of my life in some shack in the heart of the Selkirk mountains, but the reality is, I am not quite there in life to make that happen. For now, Utah is my home...
just a few random photos from our days at Retallack Lodge. So far its been nothing short of incredible. I've been shouldering a fully loaded pack lately with a time lapse rig and video kit. My back has been suffering, but a few hours at any of the hot springs in the kootenays and a couple...
The ol' blog has been getting a bit dusty lately. I just have been so damn busy living the dream, that I forgot all about computers and the internet! Seriously though, living in the Kootenays has altered my lifestyle. Things are a bit more simple on our program. You see, I'm here in the interior...
Neil and I just released our first episode of the season. "The Provo Bros", will be a 3 part series released throughout the 2010-2011 winter, produced under Inspired Media Concepts.
a little info about "Snurf Ya Later" :
The early season conditions in Utah were about as amazing as I have ever...
