Skiing Alta with Adaptive Skier Greg Hansen

Skiing Alta with Adaptive Skier Greg Hansen

I work a couple of days a week as a marketing department photographer for Alta Ski Area. For the most part, I get to ski where I want and take pictures of whatever I want. The main goal is to show off what is arguably the best ski area on the planet. It’s a pretty […]

Best Adventure Photos of 2017

Best Adventure Photos of 2017

For the past few years I’ve made a “best photos of” article at the beginning of the New Year. There are as many ways to determine your “best” photos as there are photographers and I’ve opted to keep it simple and somewhat automated. Since photography is a form of communication, I’ve left the choosing up […]

Best Photos of 2016

Best Photos of 2016

We’re well into 2017 so I guess it’s about time I show off my most successful mountain bike, ski, travel and adventure photos from last year. I don’t know if these are actually my best photos of 2016. How do you determine “best,” anyway? To help me narrow my picks down, I started with my […]

2014 Brighton Closing Day Photos

2014 Brighton Closing Day Photos

I’ve attended a few ski resort closing days in the past and they’re always tons of fun. Skiing slush in a T-shirt is cool (as long as you’ve got the right wax on your skis), the silly costumes and vintage ski gear are entertaining, but mostly it’s the party atmosphere and camaraderie with fellow snow […]

Hydration Review: Platypus plusBottle Collapsible Water Bottle For Ski Touring

Hydration Review: Platypus plusBottle Collapsible Water Bottle For Ski Touring

I bought the Platypus plusBottle about a year ago for backcountry skiing. It’s a soft, completely collapsible 1-liter (34 ounces) water bottle with a push/pull cap that I carry inside the pocket of a light softshell jacket. I started ski touring a few years ago to get more untracked powder, keep up my cardio in […]
