Deep Winter is back
05/01/10 11:05 Filed in: Photography
Right now there are
five photographers that are totally exhausted. They
are competing this week, in the Deep Winter
photo contest
that Arc’Teryx and Whistler/Blackcomb
have been putting
on for the last several years. The idea behind
this contest was to highlight the fact that some
of the best riding that ever takes place in
Whistler is during storm season, and the first
week of January is a fairly safe bet for storms.
Yesterday, today and tomorrow the photographers head up the mountain and shoot enough photos to present a 3 to 5 minute slide show on Thursday night in front of 700 or so people. The rules state that you have to shoot in bounds and during regular operating hours. That essentially gives you less than 24 hours of total shooting time. Having done this contest twice, I can tell you that it is the most exhausting and exhilarating week of the season.
This week I’ll be judging the slideshows, so come out to the Fairmont Whistler on Thursday night and watch the work of some of the best photographers in the business. Jordan Manley has won it twice, Paul Morrison has won it and I’m really looking forward to first time competitors Colin Adair and Nicholas Teichrob.
Here are some of my favourite shots from my two efforts and you can watch my second slideshow here.
Good luck out there guys.
