Monarch Dogs

On 15JAN09 Alex and I traveled to Monarch Ski Area, and captured a whole bunch of damn good shots in the process. Alex was going off, but honestly I was just badass behind the camera and made him look better than he actually is. It was like, 80% me, and like 20% him out there. Now let me further explain why you may be confused; the "Corey Loves Monarch" clip was short, and only half a song, so I just finished up the song with some of the new footage and it looks much better. I didn't give you all the footage yet because it isn't time for you jerks to see it, so wait your turn! It will come out soon enough. It's all Corey and Alex, minus one shot of Wegert fallin' down. Music is (full song this time) "War Dogs" by Juno Reactor.

Stay tuned for a totally bitchin' gaper segment in the near future.

OMG GUYS

Alex Else and I went to Monarch today, Jan 17th, and Alex was going off. I got a bunch of great shots and will disperse those once I get them done, but I wanted to give you guys a tease first. This is Alex going mega-big on the Curecanti windlip, enjoy!

Two Days at Monarch

I shot all of this over the course of two days at Monarch, specifically the 9th and the 14th. Snow was great and deep, but early season conditions did exist. Riders are Logan Myers, Glenn, Kevin Brooks, Marcus Elich, myself, and some random dude. Music is FC Kahuna, "Hayling".

CBMR - December 6th, 2008

Met up with Alex for a day of shreddin' at CBMR, the same day the mountain had a jib contest scheduled for the base area. It was still early season at this point so there wasn't much to film, but I did manage to snag a few shots. We met up with T-Money early in the day, and while he doesn't ski with poles, he's still mostly a cool kid, so we rode with him until he had to work. The Jib Jam went down in the afternoon, but honestly it was kind of boring unless you were in it. So I snapped a few shots of the homies and called it good.

The Long Road Home

About halfway through last season I came to the conclusion that I wasn't going to be able to put out a full movie this season. Access issues at CBMR, coupled with camera problems, and a lack of availability to go anywhere cool led to a sharp downturn in filming this year. However, I was able to squeeze out a few segments, and ultimately looking back a few weeks ago I realized that with some minor work, and the addition of an intro and credits, that a movie could indeed be had. So I set to work, and this is the end result. I have to say, I am pretty satisfied with it, too. It may not be as neatly made as The Elevation Revelation but I do feel that overall, the cinematography and videography is much better in this one. Enjoy.

Thanksgiving Business

Thanksgiving went down as planned, and skiing did at Loveland, but unfortunately both were rather anti-climatic. The skiing was decent with 4'' of soft new, but there just wasn't anything worth filming. We had a good time though, and the season is just getting started!

Updates ARE Coming......

It's been almost a full month since my last post, and while I feel bummed about it, really and truly, there just hasn't been much going on here in the past 30 days.. We had a fun mission to get firewood last week, and aside from that it's been mostly work and sleep while we wait for the snow to finally arrive.

Unfortunately the snow picture has been somewhat grim since our initial dustings last month. The Webcams @ CBMR reveal a startling picture of the much dreaded white ribbon of death that will rear it's ugly head next Wednesday for Opening Day 2008. There isn't any snow on the forseeable horizon as well, so everyone is playing the waiting game now. Will it keep on sucking like 2006-2007? Or will it surprise us and snow a bunch like 2007-2008? Just have to wait and see......

On a last note, a few of us will be heading to Loveland Ski Area the day after Thanksjibbing for a day of skiing on my 24th birthday, so with that leading it off, the updates should start increasing here as the season finally arrives!

PK's Rio Chama Pics

PK and Gail went to Santa Fe, NM last weekend, for a weekend of fun and sun with some family, but more importantly, to eat at Maria's Kitchen, which is a top notch Mexican food restaurant in town that has hooked many, many people over the years. It's pretty remarkeable, because you will be talking to somebody completely random that you don't know and if Santa Fe gets brought up 9 times out of 10 they know what it is, and are hooked themselves. Bottom line, eat there if you get a chance.

On Saturday PK and my uncle Tom went fishing on the Rio Chama, first ending up at the tailwater below Abiquiu Dam, northwest of Espanola, NM. This is host to a short, easy stretch of water that is more popular with the fishermen more than the paddlers. The fish were not biting, so they headed upstream to the Day Run of the Chama Canyon, which is where we are heading next spring for our annual beginning of the season New Mexico trip. PK took some pictures to pre scout where we will be next year, and I gotta say, it looks pretty fun. Can't wait.

As always, the more people we can get to come next spring, the better this trip will be....
