This is the latest episode from skier/photographer/producer Jordan Manley's web series, A Skier's Journey, which has fast become one of my favorite things to watch on vimeo. This episode tells the tale of 5 skiers on a trip to the incredibly inspiring fjords of Baffin Island, in the Canadian...

My brother bought a new camera, and I was eager to test it out. We have been shooting with the Canon 5D series ever since its inception, but decided to add his little brother the 7D to the camera block this winter. The 7D is great because of the 8fps photo, 60fps video, and fast autofocus. Its...

It seems that in the western United States, winter has hit a wall, literally! I've had my jet-stream maps opened and looping for the last month and nothing has changed. A massive wall of high pressure is parked over the west, and all of those pretty colors you see on the map above split north...

I wanted to post this video from Tom Lowe, the man behind TimeScapes. Its really incredible what this dude has done. Almost 4 years ago, when I got into cinema for the first time with the purchase of my 5D Mark II, Tom was already pushing the limits of what can be done with these cameras. He was...

Its been a rather slow, yet interesting start to the 11'/12' winter. In terms of snow, Utah has had a few teaser storms that started up in early October, but there was never really any momentum with the storm patterns. Unfortunately, we're now setup with a very dangerous early season snowpack...

Retallack powder mining, its a one of a kind experience. Karl the Gnarl is a one of a kind experience. You'll have to see for yourself at the legendary lodge in British Columbia... Until then, enjoy this video which tries to somehow capture the energy. This piece was created with footage from...

Maybe you have heard about or seen the t.v show, Hillbilly Handfishin'. Its pretty lame. A few weeks ago, on a crisp fall morning, Neil must have been inspired by the show, because he caught this hog of a trout with his bare hands.... I shit you not. This thing literally floated into Neil's...

Sometimes it can be difficult to get back into the mountains. The business has to come first, or else there can be no play. I feel blessed to spend a lot of time in the places that I love, but it seems as though I could never get enough. The idea of not being able to do these things is always...

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...
