Keep things simple and light....it will make you better. No matter how much gear you bring to a shoot...your eye & mind will make the difference. Yes, I'm a little proud of this one and it feels good. Thanks to all the great tips at Strobist, I think David Hobby's teachings are finally sinking in.

Backcountry snowboarding with snowmobiles
There is nothing better than untracked powder and not another snowboarder in sight. I ventured out on "sleds" snowmobiles into the Northern Sierras with Brandon Cocard & Chris Bosco. About 30 minutes off the trail head, we found a nice little zone to build a kicker. We got stuck plenty of times trying to get out as I was on a borrowed sled from Andy Finch that I have named "Orca", Brandon hit a tree and Bosco found a hole!
It was a great day out there shredding and soaking up the sun...Bosco made sure to get me in on a few laps as I made a few glorious turns. They got their share as well:)!

Zak Shelhamer.
What can I say about Zak? Well, he is a great guy with many talents. He snowboards, shoots photos (acts as my assistant from time to time) and likes to play around with video as well. Here he is sending it off the bridge in complete control. Atta boy Zak!
Eric Willet
I love shooting with new people...and this is one snowboarder to watch out for here in the near future. Eric is from Colorado and an insane snowboarder who has been placing top 10 in this years most major snowboard events. Such as the Dew Tour and The open snowboarding series prented by Burton Snowboards.

2009 Winter Dew Tour: Northstar at Tahoe Day 1
This is the last stop for the Winter Dew Tour and it couldn't be a much better setting. Northstar at Tahoe is hosting the final event here in our own backyard. Being the last stop, there is a total of 1.5 million bones of prize money being handed out for the winners of all disciplines. Snowboard Slopestyle & Halfpipe as well as Skiing Slopestyle and Halfpipe in both mens and womens divisions. Today My main focus was Mens Snowboard Slopestyle qualifiers as PorterTahoe.com had serious interest in routing it's team riders Chas Guldemond & Brandon Cocard. They both made it in and this is Brandons 1st major final in his rookie year of competition in the professional ranks. Congrats Brandon & Chas! Tomorrow is the finals and we'll be doing a much more in depth post. Zak Shelhamer and myself are covering our snowboard competitors closely and have lots of different footage to put together for you. Instead of waiting for us...get on out to Northstar at Tahoe and see all the action for yourself. Its gonna be a great time!

The Storm Clears
It's been snowing for over a week now in Tahoe and the results are phenomenal! There is seriously over 7 ft of new snow on Donner Summit. I headed out today once again with Mike Basich & Andy Finch for some bluebird powder snowboarding. The drive up was unbelievable on Historic Old 40 as the sun, clouds, sky & mountains made a beautiful setting for our day of adventure. In the process, we ran into local photog Dalton Paley and ski bum Skogen Sprang. We all rode together and got some great photos.
