Perspectives #7- Travelling to the Ski Salt Lake Shootout

Nicolas

Perspectives #7 is online and ready for your viewing pleasure. This webisode takes a bit a different look at the skiing world as a GoProHD is used to capture angles that you normally don’t see, such as through the security scanner and on the luggage.

Nicolas Teichrob flew down to Utah, leaving the Sunshine Coast, back in mid-February, 2010. During his time there, he competed in the Ski Salt Lake Shootout. This is a photo competition that picks individual images (rather than whole slideshows like most events), and the final image of this Perspectives, is of Leo Ahrens, and it won the City Lifestyle category.

Salt Lake update from the airport

Nicolas

Here is a quick little update as I sit in the airport in Salt Lake City, Utah. The awards party for the Salt Lake Shootout went down last night and I walked away with $1k and 1st place in the ‘city lifestyle’ category. The winning shot was an image of young gun ripper (only 16 years old) Leo Ahrens. Leo was super keen on getting some lifestyles and I am stoked we found the stadium because as soon as we went in, i knew the shot would be rad. In addition, I got 2nd and 3rd in a number of categories (mountain lifestyle, big mountain, powder). It was a great contest and I have a lot of cool shots to get off to the mags.

A big thanks to Adam Barker for running this and to all the athletes I worked with during the week. All the photogs killed it and it made for a pretty stacked show of images for the judges. -Julian Carr, Michele Manning, Leo Ahrens, Carston Oliver, Parker Cook, Todd Ligare, Josh Van Jura, and Jesse Hall

Day 1 of the Salt Lake Shootout

Nicolas

Today was the first day of the Ski Salt Lake Shootout. I was fortunate enough to shoot at Alta today and was able to shoot some big lines in the sun on probably our only blubird day of the event. I was shooting with Julian Carr and Todd Ligare. Both these guys just crush it out on the hill. The showed me the zones to get the shots and they were great to work with. After some editing tonight, I feel like I have a decent start to the event with a few shots in many of the 5 categories (we submit 3 images for: Big mountain, powder, air, mountain lifestyle, and city lifestyle). The snow was good, the light was good, everything was good…except for the lack of my skis. My ski bag didn’t make it on my flight, so I skied today on borrowed skis from Sam Elias…brand new Black Diamond Zealots, and the Alta ski shop borrowed me some poles for the day. My ski bag arrived sometime during the day today and I am stoked tomorrow get on my Lhasa Pows with duller edges and a more buttery feel. Here are some shots from day 1 that won’t be making the final cut.
