Portfolio Post - Lifestyle

Initially, I was thinking of just having a general "Skiing" or "Snow" portfolio that would cover both the up and down of backcountry skiing.  The issue I ran into was that the mood and feel of uphill images was totally different than that of downhill images, and I wanted to separate them to portray that.  So, instead, I put the downhill stuff in the "Active" portfolio and the uphill stuff in the "Lifestyle" portfolio.  I feel like the hiking aspect of backcountry skiing really portrays the lifestyle of what we do.  This portfolio also includes other outdoor lifestyle activities such as sailing, hiking, etc.  It just happens to be dominated by backcountry skiing right now because those are the best images I have.

It turns out that getting to the North summit of Mt. Olympus is not as easy as one might think.

I was in Rhode Island for work and our sales rep set up a day of sailing in Newport.  I'm a sailor.  I sail.

In order to ski the Y-Not you have to first walk up the Y.  Our problem here was that we actually took a wrong turn and had to work extra hard to get back into the main chute.

You've seen this image before.  It remains to be one of my best and one of my favorites.

We skied the NW Couloir of the Pfeifferhorn for my 27th birthday.  You can't see the chute from this angle, but doesn't that peak just look rad?

Shot on the first roll of film I ever shot with my Holga medium format camera.  This also happened to have been Candice's first backcountry tour ever.
