off the map
Last year, after multiple run-ins with bad luck and
bad conditions, Travis Robb, Mark Landvik, Eric
Jackson and I set out to find a new spot. We
searched and searched, and eventually came upon a
little miracle of geography that was perfectly made
for snowboarding. Especially for shooting photos of
snowboarding. We spend a few days "working the
zone" before other obligations dragged us in
different directions and although we put some great
stuff on film, we had unfinished business.
We're back in our spot. It has set up differently this year, different in a good way. Sammy Luebke is along for the ride this time and he's having a ball riding the best pillows on the planet. The level of riding has jumped through the roof this year. While we were happy linking transitions with big straight airs last year, this year tricks are getting thrown in the most insane places. I'm totally exhausted and I have so much to take care of at home, but for now, I'm in the middle of an amazing dream and I'm going to hit snooze for just a couple more days.

Back in BC
I'm back in BC after a really short trip to Baker.
Although we didn't end up getting what we went for,
we did manage to get a whole bunch of other stuff.
I got to do a few turns on Baker in between shots
which is always nice, and met Nick, Nate and Sammy.
I also got to see some good old friends, Sean
Sullivan! Ranquet, Barrett, Temple, Shaun McKay,
John Laing, Pat McCarthy (who is looking good, and
riding after the accident)
All in all, it was a nice trip if a little too short. Washington is beautiful
