A Skier’s Journey: Argentina
Tuesday, October 18th, 2011Argentina, beginning Aug 25th. Santiago-Penitentes-Mendoza-Caviahue-San Martin de los Andes-Bariloche-Refugio Frey-Volcan Lanin. We cover almost 4000kms through desert and pampas, cohiue and lenga, pumice and ash, cardboard and blower, sunshine and wind, granite spire and the occasional agua termale. Wingmen are Chad Sayers and Maxi Artoni. Episode of Argentina: A Skier’s Journey is launching at the beginning of December.
Thanks to Powder Quest for logistical support, and SouthAmericaSki.com for moral support.
Roadside. Ruta 40, middle of the middle of nowhere, Argentina.
Casualties in the desert.
Pampas, and Chad Sayers.
Volcan Lanin. The highest in a region of many beautiful volcanos.
Maximilliano Artoni on Volcan Lanin.
Maxi and Chad. This was Max’s 25th time up Lanin. We finally got to ski his prized line – no wind, full sun. A rare window. It was perfect.
After summiting Volcan Copahue, water steaming from it’s lake/caldera , we skied several thousand feet of smooth wind buffed snow arriving at some hot springs, still high in the alpine. Afterwards I toured the inside of some abandoned buildings next to the hot springs. Just a normal ski day in Caviahue, Argentina.
A Skier’s Journey – Round 2
Wednesday, February 2nd, 2011Alongside Chad Sayers, I have begun producing the second season of the Arcteryx/Goretex sponsored series, A Skier’s Journey. This time we’re in Terrace, BC, focussing on Shames Mountain and the community cooperative model being proposed in order to save the ski hill. With some challenging weather at Shames we headed an hour north yesterday to see if we could find some softer snow. We have been skiing with our gracious host, Brad Zeerip - owner and operator of a fishing lodge here on the Skeena River in Terrace. At 52, Brad might just be the most energetic and enthusiastic skier I’ve ever met. He and friends Mark and Matt took us up a logging road with Brad’s trusty 20yr old snowmobiles before we toured and climbed to some exciting, and untrafficked terrain.

Powder magazine – Photo Annual
Wednesday, December 22nd, 2010For a ski photographer there is likely no bigger editorial issue of the year than the Powder Photo Annual. Here are some tear sheets from this year’s issue (click to enlarge), shot in two of my favourite places: La Grave and Whistler.
