Powder Footage from Japan

Here’s an edit from Sweetgrass Productions of me skiing near Niseko Japan. 

The last few weeks have been filled with battling a horrible cold and trying to ski and shoot and hike as much as possible.

This week, the Ski Salt Lake Shootout Begins.

Here’s a description of the competition:

Ski Salt Lake and its four resort partners–Alta, Snowbird, Brighton and Solitude–are hosting six of the world’s most recognized ski photographers and the freshest local big-mountain skiing talent in a peak-packed venue that receives more than 500 inches of "The Greatest Snow on Earth" each year. Two positions are also dedicated to local photographers poised to break onto the scene.

I’ve been scouting lines and locations and making detailed shot lists to bring my A-game to this event.  The grand prize is $2,000 for the overall best photo, but there is $1,000 for each category, powder, air, big mountain, city lifestyle and mountain lifestyle.  It starts on Monday and I’ll be super busy with that until Friday.  Stay tuned for photos from the event!
