The last issue for this season of Snowboard Canada just dropped and Feet Banks and I have a feature in it. I am so happy with the way it turned out, the design team there knocked it out of the park. It is so great to have the support of SBC they are not afraid to take chances when you come at them with a bit of a different idea, something you don’t see much of in any other snow industry publication these days. A big thank you to the rider’s that were involved, they not only killed it in the backcountry but went the extra mile for the portraits as well. Thanks so much to everyone that helped pull this one off.

Backcountry Bombin’ with Joel Loverin

I have been shooting with Joel Loverin more and more over the last few seasons. He prefers to ride more and talk less and you can usually find him in the backcountry with his crew bagging big lines even if the cameras are not rolling. He just dropped a little edit of some of his footage from last season that back up my claims. It is refreshing to work with a rider who would rather ride then build a huge cheese wedge these days, i’ll be interested to see the footage he comes up with this year.

Well now that the holiday’s are over and I have come out of my Turkey/Crown Royal stuppor you will start to see a little more action around the blog. The newest Snowboard Canada just dropped with a feature I put together last spring. We spent a couple nights camping up on the Pemberton Ice Cap with a great crew consisting of Shin Campos, Martin Gallant, Joel Loverin, Tyler Chorlton and Kareem El Rafie.The snow conditions were less then ideal but we managed to put together a couple shots for the story. I think everyone had to buy new skis after this trip as we hit a few km’s of dirt on the access road but it was all worth it in the end. So if you haven’t picked up a copy yet make sure you do but for now you can check out the recent tear sheets from Mark Gribbon Photography below.

Wrapping up what has turned into a bit of a woman’s week here on o.k. listen is my latest cover with Marie France Roy for Transworld Japan. This is from our trip last season to Mount Cain on Vancouver Island that I featured earlier this week. We may have had some of the worst camping conditions, but in the end we got some shots and had some fun, and that is really what it’s all about. Thanks Marie, looking forward to this winter!

The post about Helen yesterday got me thinking about past times shooting with her and I think that these photos might have been from the first day we shot together. A couple of Helen ended up getting used from this trip but unfortunately these ones never saw the light of day. I haven’t seen Kalina in years, but Molly is till around slaying it on her board. The girls had this secret pillow stash that we went to out of Bralorne and the snow was so deep on this trip that the girls just kept getting buried in the pillows. I hope we are going to have another one of those deep winters!

Helen Schettini The Hardest Working Lady In Snowboarding

20120204_yes_ruth_068-2It is great to see when hard work pays off for someone and all the hard work is paying off for Helen. She just signed a deal with Adidas Snowboarding, has an interview in Snowboard Magazine as well she landed the cover of the  SBC Women’s Annual with a great interview inside, and from what I hear has another great part in YES Snowboardsnew movie. It really is a pleasure to see her getting the recognition she deserves.
