This was not something I expected when I woke up this morning. Despite all the bad forecasts last night the weather had turned from rainstorm to bluebird and not a single cloud out. This made our morning rather hectic, since no one had expected this we had a bunch of new test skis to mount and plans to figure out. We somehow made it up to Snowpark around noon for a session. Unfortunately it turned out to be pretty windy and the rain that fell the other day had created a nice ice crust on top of the park. We still had a good time sessioning the rails and boxes, getting a few shots with our filmer, Wanaka local Jason Hancox. Unfortunately I can’t show you anything yet due to new graphics and outerwear, but I promise it is absolutely insane this year and the ski graphics will make everyone freak out.

here’s another scenery shot for you. since we havent seen the sun in so long I decided it was about time.

Chris O’Connell refuses to follow the “unwritten rule of professional photography” – always dress black. He chooses to follow his own unwritten second rule of professional photography – ruin as many other photographers shots as possible.

Taylor Seaton, Andri Ambühl and Mike Hornbeck just partying it out in our spacey four people bedroom.
