Billabong Winter Europe w/ Taylor Godber

I shot a 'how to guide to Whistler' with Taylor Godber for Billabong Europe in January 2017.   Taylor is such a trouper, she was just getting over dengue fever a the time.  We didn't have budget for an assistant so she carried her own change of outfits on the hill, and powered through the day.   

The article goes something like:

There is a certain energy to Whistler. Something that hooks and magnetizes people from all over the world to turn their vacations into stay-cations that last a week to a decade. A stroll through the Village and surrounding areas, a taste of the endless cuisine, the lit winter walkways blanketed in snow, and most profoundly the top to bottom pow runs. An elixir that will undoubtedly capture your soul. That is if you are into that kind of stuff.

Thank you to Mount Currie Coffee, Scandinave Spa and of course Whistler Blackcomb for being so accommodating.

I put together my favorites below.

Stay Warm and Enjoy

Eric in Baro Dry Wear

My friends Mike Cerka and Tyler Quarles over at Baro Dry Wear started a Technical Outerwear company out of Vancouver, Canada last year. The brand pairs trusted technologies with classic silhouettes—designed for those seeking technical outerwear without compromising style. Their pieces are versatile and stylish, fantastically fit and finish, great function, and super waterproof. 

I did a shoot with them in the fall. No professional models or stylist, assistants, location scouting, hair or makeup. Just friend, a couple stops on the Skytrain and a lot of jackets. It's amazing what you can shoot with a little imagination.   Here are some of my favorites with Eric Savics.

Also thanks  to Lauren Van Camp & Travis Collier for modelling.  More to come next week..

JPV was able to successfully set a new world record for highest air in a superpipe on skis, launching 8.04 meters (26 ft, 3 in) above the deck of a pristinely cut, 22-foot superpipe. The world record was previously held by Peter Olenick of Carbondale, CO; Olenick set a record of 7.58 meters (24 ft, 11 in) on January 31, 2010, during the first-ever X Games High Air contest in Aspen, CO.

Here are some photos from a shoot I did last March with the Giro half-pipe team in Tignes, France.   Simon won the X Games that year and redid his winning run, still drunk from the night before, so the cinematographer could get the shoot.  It was quite honestly flawless and he was really run.  So classic.   Simon is such a creative and humble dude. Happy to see him land some pages in this magazine.
