Here is a recent cover from the Italian magazine 4Skiers. Dave [Treadway] had broke his collar bone 2 weeks before we shot this, and decided he was healed enough to do a few runs at Monashee Powder Snowcats for the camera (and for fun). I’m not sure what the lesson is there exactly.
After Great Canadian heli and a couple days of New Years spent in Revelstoke, Daryl and I met brother Dave and carried our interior road trip on to Monashee Powder Snowcats in the Monashee range. For the three of us it was our third time there shooting. Monashee Powder’s tenure is a fantastic playground for skiing and a pleasure to photograph. They also have an extensive burn that I really enjoy moving through, and photographing. We spent some time hauling ladders around and climbing trees to highlight the beauty of moving through the burn on skis – experimenting with some different angles and concepts for magazines next year. Thanks to our guide Mark and the rest of the staff at Monashee who put up with my high maintenance persistence on taking a long time and requiring things like 28ft ladders to be hauled around.

There was no better way to end 2009 and start 2010 than by visiting Great Canadian Heli Skiing at Rogers Pass, BC for a 3 day photo shoot. I was joined by Jamie Bond from Doglotion.com, and Dave and Dan Treadway who (as always) killed it in front of the camera. Stunning terrain (burn and pillow heaven), deep and stable blower powder, and warm hospitality made for a fantastic New Years.
Here is a video edited together from some video I took between shooting stills, with some additional footage provided by Jamie Bond.

Thanks to Tim and Greg and our guide Paddy at Great Canadian Heli Skiing for making it all happen.
