Snowbird Shoot

On Wednesday April 9th, I received a call from Snowbird asking me if I wanted to come and do a photo shoot for their national ad campaign the next morning.  It was snowing hard that afternoon, and the snow was beginning to pile up.  We have had so many waist deep pow days this year!  It’s so rad.

The next morning, they called me at 6am to confirm.  We were to meet at the tram deck for a 7:30 tram.  The clouds were just beginning to move, and I was excited about another bluebird powder day.  Here’s a picture of the drive up the canyon:

I barely made it up to the bird in time.  We got on the early tram and set up the shot.  The plan was to do a shot of two skiers at a time down the Cirque, with the tram parked overhead.  Unfortunately, the clouds rolled in again, and Mount Superior was not visible, but it was still some great skiing!  Here’s a shot of my fresh tracks down the Cirque:

Here’s a shot of Scott Markewitz shooting Jenn Berg, another one of the athletes on the shoot:

Spring skiing in Utah is my favorite.  We will have 60 degree weather in the valley, and powder in the mountains.  I love it! 

 

Overall, it was a great day of bell-to-bell skiing.
