The Ski Salt Lake Shootout, now in its fourth consecutive year.
I am paired up with photographer Matthew Turley, skier Kalen Thorien and rider Parker Worthen. Today we woke up to 16” of fresh, 4 tickets to Brighton and early chair privileges. Did I mention bluebird skies? It was perfect – the stoke was high going into our first day of competition. Here are some behind the scenes shots I took:
