Temperature was -5c degrees when we venture out to try our luck with snowmaking machine in the area called “Friday Flats” – the beginner slope of Thredbo Resort. Snowmaking and Grooming / Thredbo is the benchmark for snowmaking and grooming in Australia. The already mega snowmaking system that covers 25% of the trails has had another $2 million makeover in the summer and is now fully automated. What does this mean to snow riders? In the 2006 season 42% more snow was made than the previous year, this coming winter the mountain crew expects to produce an extra 30% again. More trails will be covered by the automated system. So better quality, greater coverage and more areas covered. Combine this with a state of the art grooming fleet to smooth the trails (including winch cats to smooth the steep), you know you will always have the best possible snow riding conditions. The "corduroy" surface left behind after a touch up from this mountain crew will make your boards sing!

This is a poster I made, playing with retro colours and feeling, trying to recreate old sport posters.
There is a very sweet and touching story behind this tee. I created this for a Martin, who has a friend who has cancer. During her recovery she got this tattoo that says ‘Memento’, latin for ‘Memento vivere’ which means ‘Remember to live’. She has a very positive thinking towards life which I find to be very rare from most people these days. SInce I have been watched for cancer myself since April of 2007, I was honored to do this picture for him. I truly hope she enjoys the gift! This is for you, Louise!
After the first time he beat me to the top, I captuered my younger brother gazing over the valley which we called home for so long. Taken in the Arapaho National Forest – Dillon, Colorado, U.S.A.
The best ski trick of them all.
Jumping on Mt. Hood with self timer, couldn’t help it, it was a jumping opportunity.
I had the idea for this a while ago and it was going to include an ironing board and speech bubbles instead of graffiti… then I had the brick wall idea and I must say… I’m rather happy with the result! Enjoy. Brother Adam Youtube Video .
Well as I was saying in my journal, I haven’t been around for the most part of th winter as I needed a break and mostly cause work kept me pretty busy so I didn’t have much time to shot and when I did have my camera, it was around events that we put on such as this one. This shot was taken during one of our Slopestyle event here in Whistler where the kids try to showcase their talent on various features (jumps, rails). Shot taken with my Canon Xt, 70-200mm lens Cheers
March 3/09 / Mount Titlis, Switzerland. / I hope you love this shot as much as I do of a lone snowboarder on a tracked slope in the sunlight. / I have entered this image in a National Geographic photographic competition.
I forgot how much I hate the snow.
