About a month ago I blogged about the Outdoor Pursuits Photography Contest. Well, the results came in and I won 1st Place in the Action/Adventure Category with my picture of Sam skiing some really deep powder back in mid-October. Along with a fancy ribbon I won a $20 Northern Lights gift card and a pair [...]

Surprise Chowder Day
February 13th, 2010 No Comments
Yesterday I woke up and checked the snow report, saw the 11″ of fresh and the little blinking blue light on the Bridger homepage that means powder, didn’t believe it, and went back to bed. When I woke up two hours later it was still showing the same thing. Forrest, Tim, Tucker, Megan, and I [...]

Some Photos from Last Week’s Ridge Hike
February 12th, 2010 No Comments
Last week I managed to secure a beacon for a couple of days of skiing off of Bridger’s vaunted Ridge.
Tuesday, Clare, Taylor, and I hiked up from the top of the Slushman’s lift to ski some day old powder down to The Fingers. The view from the top of the Ridge was stunning. The Bridger [...]

Blizzard in the Bozone – 1/22-24
January 26th, 2010 No Comments
El Nino has not been very kind to the Bridgers this season. However, after a two week drought and some really crappy skiing, we finally got some snow this last weekend. Alot of it, actually.
Friday, January 22
We got our 1-2″ overnight, and it was snowing lightly all day. Nothing really worth mentioning, but a couple [...]

Layer Masks
October 30th, 2009 No Comments
Fed up with Photomerge and Hugin’s inability to accurately merge my action mosaics together, I finally tried working it out manually with layer masks. It actually worked out way better. I have so much more (read: total) control over how the images are blended together and how they are aligned. I still have a long [...]

Powder Day! – October 29, 2009
October 29th, 2009 No Comments
What a difference two weeks makes. We did things much smarter this time. A storm rolled in Tuesday and lasted all night, leaving us with about 6″ of snow here on campus in Bozeman and an unknown amount in the mountains. Everything looked white though.
We left campus around 7:30 and were hiking at 8:00.
The hike [...]

Motion Panoramas
October 6th, 2009 No Comments
This is a new technique that I’ve been working on and I’m pretty excited about. I’ve always loved shots, both on TV and in still pictures, that depicted multiples images of an object in motion. I’ve been working with Photoshop recently to create my own images with this technique. I’ve only got one so far. [...]

A Powder Week at Bolton Valley – Day 1
February 26th, 2009 No Comments
This trip turned up completely by surprise when my friend Matt called me Monday morning to say that his friend had gotten sick and that he had an extra spot open in his car. His plan was to drive up to Williston, VT and spend the night at the Holiday Inn. Overnight guests supposedly got [...]
