The comp started this year up at Mt Olympus with Tom Brownlee getting in front of the camera with more than a few ridiculous statements and some of the better skiing I’ve seen.

As part of my high fives coverage, I’d flick the switch between photo and video a bit to help get some shots for the NZsnowboard edit that Liam Hall who I work with on Film Inc Media made with shots of his own and Kaleb from the Cardrona Media House as well as my little titles. We were all pretty stoked on how the video turned out then it turns up on Transworld’s best of the web, which counts as pretty much as far as you can get with a snowboard vid on the web.

Which means I have been half way up the side of the mountain shooting for the past week, it’s been a great chance to use a few new toys and do some things that I haven’t before with a production, the internet isn’t too fast up there but as we left town I released this little update.
And in between Mt Olympus and Craigieburn I had an hour or so to cut up this little teaser with some results so that I have time to do the real thing over the next few days before I go back to the hills.

Another media circus is beginning up at Snowpark with practice day today I just went way back with the long lens, tomorrow slopestyle and then Saturday is on the pipe. Christy was boosting methods bigger than most of the guys so she got one of the photos on the NZsnowboard gallery.

Today was a little more hectic for qualifiers tho, I was shooting some combination of photo, video, instagram and posting on twitter all day, check a bunch of the shots on NZsnowboard.com including this one which is my favourite.
So now I’m just sitting across the room from Liam getting today’s edit finished up, stay tuned.

A couple of weeks ago I went on a bit of a mission that I wasn’t really sure if it was going to work out at the time, or even half way through but here we have the product and I’m happy. Mt Olympus had a bit of new snow to start the season and Mikey was keen to shread even if he was working grave yard shift up at Mt Hutt, I was hoping for a few more riders to get involved but things fall through some times and we just made a little story line and adapted as we went and came out with an ep for Snow Show, the TV show on TVNZ U.

So as the snow has fallen and we are back in the mountains the TV show Airtime I have been working on over summer has become Snow Show, same idea, same time, same channel so for my first ep of the season, Liam Hall and myself caught up with a few buddies for a game of “Shred” at Mt Hutt. If you don’t know what “Shred” is just watch as Milu tries to explain it. Always fun to be riding with the crew and I’ve got a fair amount more snow content coming along soon.

I was just playing with this bit of a drawing after discussing the concept the other day, I don’t know if it’s entirely finished without textures and shading and there is probably a mistake or two in it… but as I was designing the whole thing looked like it could work on a board, so I logged onto facebook to procrastinate a little and first post was a board design comp on boardworld, I’m normally not a fan of asking designers to work for nothing like this but this isn’t going anywhere else so it can go there.

With the snow season coming up soon Chill have released their winter mag, keeping the scene up to date with everything from the club fields and after last season I felt like I hadn’t shot many photos while concentrating on the Clubbies film series but after I scrolled the hard drives and submitted a whole bunch I came out with 15 shots published as well as writing 1 article and appearing in 2 more photos so not too bad in the end and this shot to me just shows the Chill vibe as it’s meant to be. Bring on winter.
