Artist Statement:
I always come back… I come at the beginning of the winter with my crews to battle the short days and frigid temps to reap the beauty of the early season light. I come back for deep, weightless snow. I come back for the spring sessions, jump builds, and airs backed by the rocky outcroppings and epic peaks that make this place so unique. Jackson’s had me from the get-go and I’ve come back every year since my first trip shooting here early in my career. I don’t plan on stopping. Every image in this collection was shot within 50 miles of the gallery.
