Getting the shot in Colorado.

Since I have been in Breckenridge I have had the chance to work with a couple of new photographers, and we have been able to produce a couple of great pictures despite the lack of snow due to preseason conditions.
We started at Arapahoe Basin before anything else was open and were able to get a couple of fun shots on the features with Ryan Bregante, I also made a trip to Vail to hit their setup in the backyard and take some lifestyles..

Thanks to Dave Roth over at Copper Mountain, Joe Large and I were able to go shoot in their park before anyone else had jumps to offer. Fortunately we had beautiful weather, and were able to ride all day with very minimal traffic through the park.

The next morning we met again at Starbucks to take a couple of lifestyle pictures, I thought the location was very fitting since I am a coffee fanatic! Thanks again to Joe, Dave, and Ryan for getting the shot!

Woodward at Copper Sessions- JUST DO IT IN THE PARK.

The main reason I wanted to get to Colorado so badly was to go and use the facilities at Woodward. Fortunately, I got a pass so I have been taking full advantage of it. Thanks Don, and Phoebe! A couple of my girlfriends and I decided to start a little project and film our sessions. This is a little edit from our first two, we had tons of fun and learned some really good corked spins both ways, doubles, and even a triple front! Enjoy... and remember, just do it in the PARK!

EARLY BIRDS AT ABASIN

After many hours spent prepping to move to Breckenridge I finally made it on Wednesday. I stopped through Park City on my way to break my drive up, so I had a nice little 7 hour drive. Lucky for me Arapahoe Basin opened the following day after I arrived. I am ecstatic to be in Colorado for the season and I can’t wait until Breckenridge opens! But in the meantime I shredded the opening day at Abasin with Courtney Cox and Bev Vuillemier. We had tons of fun playing frogger with all of the people everywhere on the “white ribbon of death” and we were all smiles
