Snowboard Canada Photo Annual Feature

_life_after-1

We all know a snowboarders career can be over before it even starts. My idea for this feature was to show what the riders might look like after years of chasing pow, girls, and the general lifestyle of a snowboarder. The talented Feet Banks penned the words, Amy Diedrich came out and did a stellar job on the makeup.

Thanks to the riders that made this happen and putting up with my crazy ideas,SBC for supporting the vision, the Squamish SPCA for the feline rental and if you are looking for a cat go see them they’ve got you covered.

Snowboard Canada Pillow Madness Feature In Photo Issue

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.

Recent Tear Sheets from Mark Gribbon Photography

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.

Snowboard Canada Cover

One of my images just landed on the cover of the newest issue of Snowboard Canada. It is from a trip I did last season while I was on assignment for them, we were lucky enough to get shown around by Pat Kitto and a couple of the  island locals and came away from the trip with a bunch of bangers. I will be showing more from the trip once the magazine is out, for now here is the cover.

Thanks to the crew at SBC for the support over the years, as well as Joel for sending it!

 

SBC Crew Challenge

20110428_brth_fac_067-Edit-Edit

Last season SBC put together a contest with with the help of D.C. and Powder Mountain Catskiing  where four of Canada’s top filming compaines had a few days to put together a edit. They built a bunch of features in powder mountains tenure and let the crews loose. I got teamed up with the Brothers Factory at the last minute and came out with a few keepers after it was all over. The weather was less then ideal for the most part but on the final day the clouds parted and all the features saw some action. Click on over to SBC and vote for your favorite crew.
