Images were short to come by taken by myself in Munich, although i did take a few for my Trail Running Website which played a major role in talks regarding my sustainability during the summer months.

With 10 full days of work coming to a close i decided to jump aboard a plane back to the UK for a day or two of rest before heading back to Geneva on Saturday for some filming time with Level 1 productions. Already looking forward to getting back into the snow.

With the competition done and dusted the whole operation upped and moved to neighbouring Italian resort Courmayeur as night moved in. After securing some work for the Italian stop, i’ve made the move over with them and look forward to another couple of days of freeriding before i move in the Germany direction for ISPO this weekend. Busy week travelling for sure!

Here’s that dramatic sunrise, and equally a dramatic of line taken from yesterday.

As a company they often release newsletters focusing on one of their team members, and this months belongs to me. Included is four images with a little bit of background to each one. Fancy checking it out for yourself? just click on the image below.

Saying that, i thought it would be nice to show you something as we move into the new year. During the last 12 months i’ve been lucky enough to spend a whole bunch of time with Level 1 productions putting in some serious mileage on the way. With their recent movie now released a photo slideshow of mine came as a bonus feature on the DVD and also the Itunes download. I haven’t put the slideshow online myself until now so i hope you enjoy a few of my shots i’ve compiled along the way.

With one pre season trip to Sweden already in the bag, i look forward to this next one. I’m off to Switzerland tomorrow so if another blog post doesn’t make it before new year, have a great new year and i’ll see you soon out on the snow.

Walking through my local supermarket last week i saw that this month edition of the magazine included a supplement of their 50 greatest photos which proved to be a captivating read. Whilst sitting and looking through the actual magazine i saw you can subscribe for a ridiculously low price (only £15 in the UK/$15 in US)

I’m amazed that you can get a years worth of the magazine for so little money, it could definitely be a great last minute gift for someone for christmas.

Wondering how they do it so cheap? It doesn’t take much exploring to find out. In this months magazine adverts are included from BMW, Rolex, Canon, Hermes and Tag Heuer. This is no low budget publication. Then on one of the early pages you see the publication figures; they have a print run of 5.7 million a month with 97% of those magazines paid for. There’s some serious figures!

As for myself? I just hit the purchase link for my own subscription. If they keep it at such low prices maybe i’ll have a National Geographic bookshelf in 20 years time…

As with anything that’s new there could well be some hidden areas which don’t work or which don’t please you. I realise that it’s impossible to please all tastes but if there’s something that doesn’t sit well with you then don’t stay quiet, let me know. I’d appreciate any constructive criticism you may have so i can build on these foundations.

Overall though i hope you enjoy stopping by and get some inspiration from some of the work i have on display here. Hit this link to be taken to the home page.

I did keep a little image gallery over on my Facebook Fan Page with some fun memories to check out. And here’s a shot for you. 12 day trip, 44 hours of sunlight. For the brief time the sun is in the sky you really have to make sure you get little gems like this.

We arrived in Breckenridge after a long drive down from Sun Valley up in Idaho. The lasting impression of this seasons spring shoots was just how un-springlike they were. Arriving on the 1st May we were initially welcomed by 2 foot of fresh snow. It was very surreal battling the cold and fresh snow up on the mountain long after it had already closed for the season.

After the initial snowstorm our time in Breckenridge panned out really well with the resort pulling out all the stops to make our time there a success. Along with a mountain of lunchtime pizza they also supplied some great features, including “Mr T” – a mohawk inspired design allowing the skiers to treat both sides like a halfpipe wall, but landing on a regular kicker landing.

There was a good selection of skiers really getting to grips with the feature and Tom Wallisch had sights set and mind in place with this feature. After a few days back in Colorado it was great to come away with some work and this appeared as a signature poster for Full Tilt. I haven’t seen a copy in the flesh myself but i’m sure a few of you would if you attended any of the premieres this season.

Now, back to checking the forecast……

Before making the trip back up North, i had one more free day to head over to East London for the usual Sunday afternoon. Big crowds, quirky individuals and a free afternoon made for a fun little visit.

So my time in London is up, a great little weekend but happy to be out of the city. Up to the countryside this weekend for a very much welcome change of pace.
