Climb For Change proudly presented the 16th Annual Vancouver International Mountain Film Festival Mountain Photography Competition winners on the opening night of the VIMFF… I was extremely honoured to be awarded the Grand Prize (a two-week guided expedition in Northern Pakistan with Nazir Sabir Expeditions) and still can’t believe I was selected by the jury over all of the other incredible entries! Photographers from across the globe enter this competition and submit some seriously jaw dropping photographs… below is my winning image, which was created only 2 weeks before the contest deadline! My wife and I were snowshoeing in the backcountry of Apex Mountain (Penticton, BC) where there was a fresh dump of powder! The snow in the interior is much different than down on the coast and made for a perfect photo! Thanks again to Climb for Change, VIMFF, Arc’teryx and also Nazir Sabir Expeditions for the amazing Grand Prize!
On Saturday February 4th Mt. Seymour was the venue for the first Canadian edition of the Vans Hi-Standard Series. The contest featured some pretty decent riders and consisted of an original big air format where riders were judged on individual style and no rotations over 720 were permitted. The sun was out and it was an amazing day to be up on the mountain! Below are a few frames I managed to shoot from the event…
I have put together a small tribute gallery for Sarah Burke. I had the privilege of photographing her at the 2010 World Skiing Invitational Superpipe on Blackcomb during the TWSSF. I did not know her personally, but I can say that her energy and passion for the sport she loved was evident through my lens… Such a tragic loss. My heart goes out to her friends and family.
