|| After a night of interlodge as a result of a hefty storm at Alta I found many familiar faces in this crowd. Plenty of questions about why I was shooting instead of skiing. In the end I couldn’t resist this sea of colors and faces. Crowds like this can be rare. ||

Powder Over Porsches
|| After a massive 24-hour storm hit Alta there were more than a handful of cars buried the next morning. That night the road closed, interlodge went into effect and shovels were in short supply. Ultimately this shot is pretty simple though: horrible taste in cars, but all the priorities in the right place. Ski first, shovel later. ||

Birthday Suit
|| Our friend John has the above sticker on the side of his Scamp trailer-camper. This along with the rack of bikes, well-worn solar panel and fully stocked kitchen, makes this trailer unique and fun. Sometimes you just have to keep it light. ||
The Return to Dirt
|| And now, the return to dirt. Tee shirts, shorts, 50-degree weather, ample sun and tacky (sometimes muddy) trails…Utah is off to a rough start to winter. We gathered a crew and hopped on the Glenwild trail in Park City, Utah rather than skiing icy, rocky groomers at the resorts nearby. Before the season makes a turnaround we’re going to need to see a few feet of snow just to get back to a suitable base. Although the switch will flip eventually, we’re an impatient group. For now dirt will have to do, and in all honesty, it feels great again.||

All About the View
|| Two panoramic-style shots, one entering our camping area and the other when we were leaving Moab. There aren’t many places on Earth where the landscape is so striking on your way in and on your way out. ||
