The competition format is comprised of 3 shooting days, where 5 photographer-athlete teams shoot on Whistler Blackcomb during operation hours, in-bounds (for the most part), and around the village any time. On the 4th day each team presents a slideshow in front of a 1000 strong crowd and a panel of 5 judges. It is always interesting to see how with the exact same conditions and time frame, the different teams produce completely different results. The last two years, my team was voted top spot, and this year, after working hard for three days my team mates (Dave Short and Chad Sayers) and I were voted top spot again. We tried to get creative as possible – climbing trees, rappelling down cliffs, amongst other things in order to get unique perspectives.

A huge thanks to Dave Short and Chad Sayers for their creative vision and hard work in front of the camera, and to John and Ange as well. I’ll post some behind the scenes footage in the coming weeks from some of the more interesting setups.
